yeah, a little bit wondering if they drugged him and the KKKoroner didn't check or there's a plausible way to conceal that without getting found out immediately
I guess you could just lie on the paperwork but toxicology would be really hard to conceal medically without really tampering with a corpse in an obvious way. When someone dies their circulatory and other systems tend to cease functioning so whatever is present innthe blood or digestive system at the time of death will stick around. A corpse can't sober up, so aside from filing a false report there isn't much else you can do to lie about that

I guess it depends on the poison and how it was administered, but generally there's no way you're getting any substance out of his system without it being even more obvious than the presence of the substance itself. Usually poison gets circulated pretty broadly throughout the body and that's not something that you can just excise.
i was thinking like spiking his drink and then killing him
Yeah, you'd expect whatever was put in his drink to exist throughout his system. You know how you can smoke pot and have a form of it show up in your pee (a metabolized byproduct, not the drug itself)? It's like that, but it also (in both cases) applies to all of the blood in your body. What are they going to do? Pump all the blood out of his body and replace it? That's extremely difficult if not functionally impossible and, assuming it's possible, would both cause an external wound and probably fuck up his circulatory system structurally. It's also just logistically not possible unless you mean that the coroner himself did the cover-up or someone else involved in the legal custody of the corpse. And that's probably the easiest part, because the evidence would also be embedded in other fluids, like those in the eye, tissues throughout the body, and maybe even hair.
If this person was poisoned and a second coroner is being hired under suspicion of the first one being dishonest, there is no way they wouldn't be able to discover this fact even if truly extensive and absurd measures were taken to try to hide it.
