His stomach and throat contained a large amount of poisonous mooncakes, yet the cause of death was actually suffocation. Moreover, the mooncakes were bought by his mother, so there was no question of someone poisoning them. What's going on here? Uh… answers will be collected when there's time, and there's a huge prize for the correct one.

The key to this question is the kitchen. The answer is that the mooncakes contained carbon monoxide (CO), which prevents red blood cells from combining with oxygen, and the deceased ate quite a lot, so…
The mother poisoned something, intending to kill her son. When the son found out, the two got into an argument. The mother casually grabbed a mooncake and stuffed it into her son's mouth. She originally wanted to poison him, but as a result, the son suffocated to death after his mother stuffed his mouth.
It should be chemistry principles, I'm totally clueless about chemistry—I suppose the cause of death was definitely choking, and the poison should be a reaction after death.
