Answer

Did he die in hospital? How old was he? Did he have heart disease? What does the Death Certificate say the cause of death was? As Dr. Shah said, without an autopsy or toxicology it might be an uphill battle - but his medical records may hold information to indicate what happened. Obtain his records + the death certificate and take them to a medical malpractice lawyer.
