        Sure.  But that won't be necessary.  This is a text-book case.
Guarantee the local medical examiner knows all about it and has likely
done several this year like it.     Just like he has done a bunch of
guys dying of alcohol-induced ciirrhosis.

        For the medical literature,   go to www.pubmed.gov and use
"ventricular hypertrophy" and "cocaine" as search terms.    BTW,   it
takes some rather serious coke use to cause it.    Not that being fat
and likely diabetic didn't contribute a bunch.   "Corn-bread
poisoning" we call it in the Doctor trade.
