I forget how many times a heart attack has presented as shortness of breath as well - with absolutely NO cause from an airway/choking/asphyxiation issue.
What I am saying is that the heart attack may have caused symptoms that the deceased attributed to an inability to breathe.
Happened A LOT in my presence, but that's just 15 years on the streets talking, not a few minutes in front of a video.
Wonder if the autopsy showed any airway damage? Probably not.
