Factual Questions

A late, former coworker died a couple of years ago. I think he was 62 or 63. He was taken to the ER and was found to have low blood pressure. He was admitted, and died of a heart attack a couple/few days later. He had been experimenting with distilling his own whiskey at home for the previous several months (maybe a year).

Can improperly distilled whiskey cause low blood pressure and cardiac arrest?
