The reason for this post is that someone in our family has passed away recently and they told us that cause of death was ‘sudden cardiac arrest’. However, that was what the doctor told at the place after his body had been found days after his passing in his flat. They said it seemed as if he had fallen. However, if there is known history of severe depression and reason to belief that it was not exactly a natural death (due to a short message in his last email), is there legitimate reason to doubt? This happened in Germany, so I do not know if there will be an autopsy. I also do not know if they say that to not worry the family? They also said ‘he passed away peacefully’ and how would they know that? If anyone works in the field or has heard about such a case in more detail, any information would be much appreciated, thank you!

There’s going to be things the police and doctor will see in the house that will give them clues to how someone died even without an autopsy. If they find someone at the bottom of the stairs with broken bones you can guess they fell down the stairs, if they’re in the middle of the kitchen with a broken plate and mug and it seems like something struck suddenly you can guess a heart attack. Something about how they found your family member tells them how he likely passed.
