1. Would be C. It were a shot made by a gun, it makes sense.

(But it were also unintentional, I'm leaning towards B as well ... but more on C)

2. C, he wasn't intentionally meant to die by the gunshot wound, he developed illnesses then and died later of them! (Followed by his already had illnesses)

3. A, a younger body is more healthy and easier to find the cause of death, while an older individual could be much harder and already have many problems.

(I'm just using processes of text evidence)
