yes i believe they can because apnea is abnormal breathing patterns in your sleep and this can be investigated by a forensics scientist who of which can look at the breathing patterns before you died and can see in your blood irregular patterns of oxygen and almost see if you were either repeatably suffering asphyxiation and after about 1 minute or two have regular breathing then asphyxiation symptoms then back to nothing again and again, the study or test to diagnose this is called polysomnogram and is a study performed while a test subject is
unconscious.
