From the book:

You think you can put blood in a test tube and say `tell me what’s in it,` but that’s not how it works,” said Shafer.

“The first tests came back positive for promethazine and other antihistamines, which was anticipated, but no cocaine, no stimulants, no heroin, no methadone, no marijuana or other drugs were present.” Acting on a hunch, a coroner’s team went back to Angie’s house in hopes of turning up something. They found some ant poison and other insecticides. Frank’s blood was tested again. The results were negative. This death was becoming an endless source of frustration and suspicion.  No one dies without cause. Frank Rodriguez was too healthy to die, and without a cause, the coroner couldn’t issue a death certificate.

Frank, a prudent and responsible man, had life insurance with his beloved wife as beneficiary. Without a death certificate, however, the insurance company couldn’t settle the claim.“As soon as the medical examiner provides a death certificate, Mrs.Rodriguez,” the claims agent told Angie, “we will promptly send you a check. As much as we sympathize with your financial situation, we can’t do a thing until we have the death certificate.” Her financial situation was dismal simply because Frank’s paycheck stopped when his heart did likewise. This is precisely why couples buy life insurance, and Frank was, above all, a most responsible and caring husband who lovingly made sure that his wife would be taken care of in case something happened to him.
