Your analogy is an interesting one, but I use it to come to a different conclusion. If someone had a heart attack while swimming and then drowned , they both are causes of death. This is why Covid-19 will show up on death certificates if it is thought to have contributed.

Well your assumption could very well be wrong. What if the heart attack killed them dead before they had a chance to drown? The point of my analogy, assuming you haven't seen the movie, is that Depp argued until you actually checked for water in the lungs you could not be certain that the person had drowned. He could have been killed then dumped into the river was his argument.
