Haim reported to be in better shape than previously by friends and was recently talking about abusers.
Both Haim and Breitbart cause of death was Enlarged Heart and both made allegations. (Cardiomyopathy)
Furthermore one of the coroners for Breitbart later died of suspected Arsenic Poisoning.
And finally Both Haim and Breitbart had cause of death signed by the same Deputy Medical Examiner - Juan M Carrillo
Circumstantial of course but worth noting.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy would be easy to cause by injection (or other administration) of an overdose of certain compounds (causes of cardiomyopathy, see bullet 5 of second subheading), but you would need a coroner that could be coerced into fabricating a false toxicology report, or would ignore the need for a real tox report.

That's not something that happens during half a day, it's a gradual process. I can't see how you can cause someone to get dilated cardiomyopathy by secretly poisoning them; they'd notice in advance as their health deteriorated.
It'd be much easier for the coroner to completely fake the report, if anything.

You're right. The non-hereditary types would have to be (if intentional) caused by administration over a long time. And the compounds that cause it are all CNS stimulants or psychostimulants. But if a target already had a history of using "uppers," cardiomyopathy could be the most logical cover story. However, you're right again that falsifying records would be the easiest...
