Big if true.
I'm not a lawyer so I don't know but probably they still would?
The ME ruled natural causes
The DA decided to not pursue charges in the death of the poor man.
I would imagine, in your scenario, the ME would just rule that death a homicide if the medical evidence lined up for a homicide.
