Suggest Reason For Blackish Fluid In Mouth And Nose While Death

Hello My Son died in his sleep. He had low alcohol, no drugs or toxins . He had clear fluid and no food in stomach, but in his mouth and nose was a blackish fluid. He may have died in the deep of his sleep that night. He was 33 years of age and in a hot Asian climate.Pathologists have told me the cause of death was unascertainable but not suspicious .I cannot understand what the dark fluid was.Please can you enlighten me?Kind regardsCaro

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is the outside of the ambit of the discussion on such forums, sorry for your loss.
The reasons can be that he bled just before death, may be due to hypertension or so.
Post-mortem report alone can tell the truth and nothing else.
I find this answer helpful
