about the BP Agent getting killed? Yes I did.

The family is saying that the FBI told them he died of a heart attack

Did you know that?

Heart attacks are common in blunt trauma incidents to the thoracic region. It's called traumatic cardiac arrest.

So when a victim is beat to death with a stone or a bat you tell the family they died of cardiac arrest?

That isn't exactly telling you how they died is it?

Yes. A 'causes' worksheet submitted to the state and the funeral home generally wouldn't say anything about it. It would only speak to the medical/clinical actions... i.e. acute cardiac arrest secondary to respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism... and not the 'blunt force trauma by a rock' that we seen in the cop shows

That may be what caused the PE/Cardiac Arrest... but the stopping of the heart is why he died.
