There are many more CODs that have to be officially "looked into" than just drugs and rare forms of death. There can be signs of blunt force trauma that wasn't the cause. There are all kinds of internal injuries that can happen to a person to cause death. Failed kidney. Punctured lung. Just to name a few. A lot of asphyxiation cases need to be looked into as to the exact way they died from no oxygen. Later, QD.
