Just to clarify, for a medical examiner to rule a death a homicide is to say that another person took their life. Which I understand may be your point to make, however, a lot of people automatically equate cause of death as being homicide to being equal to the criminal act of homicide. A homicide can be justified (ie. police using deadly force). A medical examiner would not be a judge if that is justified or not.
