"The jury in a coroner's inquest is presented with four options when making its finding: accident, suicide, natural causes or at the hands of another person other than by accident."
#4 obviously applies in this instance.
Of note...the Contra Costa County Coroner's Office is a department serving UNDER the supervision of the county Sheriff's Department.
This in itself is a conflict of interest...the findings should be provided by an independent forensic investigation.

If the coroner's findings come up with with something hokey like pre-existing medical conditions, it will be no different than the Minneapolis Police Department using the same alibi/excuse in the George Floyd public execution.

Upon review of the coroner's findings, hopefully the Contra Costa County DA's office will prosecute Officer Hall and ideally add a few more years to his prison sentence.

Though no amount of money will never bring Tyrell Wilson back, hopefully his family will find some solice with Officer Hall's current incarceration and a potential monetary settlement with the Town of Danville for another wrongful police shooting.

With one exception, the Minneapolis Police Department never made such claim.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, who performed Floyd's autopsy, testified that while the fentanyl and methamphetamine found in his system were listed as "significant" conditions on his autopsy report, he did not consider overdose to be his cause of death.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office is not associated with the Minneapolis Police Department.

Fortunately the Hennepin County ME report was inconsequential to the final verdict.
Justice was served though Chauvin's sentence should have been longer.
