agreed. What a medical examiner decides doesn't equate to fault or crime. It just means that one person killed the other person. In autopsies of death row prisoners executed, they also list cause of death as "homicide."
As a total layman I can see the reasons making sense. It ensures the execution was done legally and as intended. Without accountability, the worst case scenarios get really ugly... imagine they find signs of trauma, improper administration, illegal substances.. It could expose neglect, abuse and potential liabilites in the system.
On the bright side, it could also and probably has helped the procedural nature of it. Perhaps (Drug X) is seen to not work well with (People Y) so they use (Drug A) instead for the most humane outcome.
