According to KSAX, Lundsten’s father said he received a call from the coroner saying Lance had an enlarged heart and died of a coronary edema. He said he believed it was not a suicide.
Al Edenloff, a reporter for the local Alexandria Echo Press newspaper said that Lundsten’s father told him that
he also believed there were no signs of drugs or alcohol in his son's system, but the toxicology report has not been finished according the medical examiner’s office. The medical examiner’s office also said they had no comment about the phone call to Lance’s father.
The Echo Press reported that at 9:54 p.m. last Saturday, the Douglas County sheriff’s office received a 911 call of a medical emergency at Lundsten’s home in rural Miltona where he lived with his grandparents.
Sheriff’s deputies, North Ambulance, Miltona First Responders and the Parkers Prairie Ambulance responded. Lundsten was transported by ambulance to the Douglas County Hospital where he later died.

Let me get this right! Friends of Lance said that he'd been bullied. Lance's father says that he doesn't believe that to be true. Lance lived with his grandparents, not his parents (i.e. not his father). Does this, or does this not, smack of a child being driven from his home by unsympathetic parents?
In one sense it makes no difference if Lance died of a heart condition or if he died from suicide. He died. He was bullied. He was somehow and for some reason not with his father and the father knew little to nothing about Lance's life. THAT is probably at least as big a tragedy.
