While poison is the main suspect in the case, what are other ways a person could die of hypoxia

Hypoxia is a disorder that is characterized by the body or part of the body that is experience deprived of enough oxygen supply at the level of tissues. It can be local or generalized as it affects the whole body.

The most common causes of hypoxemia are lung or heart conditions such as emphysema, asthma, and bronchitis. The poison can inhibit or stops the oxygen supply from reaching the cells.

The other cause could be ischemia, a condition occurs due to an insufficient supply of blood that can lead to heart attack due to lack or low oxygen supply.

the fossil record provides evidence of a common ancestor to many species.
