Pump the brakes a little. The article seems to accept that the chip is to blame, then right at the very end, burying the lede:
> Harris Wolobah's cause of death is not yet determined; it's not certain if the chip is to blame. An autopsy will be conducted, but the results could take up to 12 weeks, according to the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
That's a pretty big caveat.
