is nt insulin undectectable as well as the body naturally produces it, anyway, so an insulin overdose would be a good way to off someone, that is what we are talking about here right,if not ignore my comment

Nitrogen can be purchased by anyone from sources that are available in almost any town in america. Everyone from medical supply stores, welding supply, industrial gas suppliers, etc. They are everywhere, and nitrogen is cheap.
An autopsy of someone who died from "nitrogen asphyxiation" (actually hypoxia) would be virtually undetectable. The inert gas does not react with the body at all. You are not "poisoned" in other words. You simply died because of lack of oxygen.
Because one simply passes out (a few breaths), goes into a coma (about 40 seconds), and then subsequently has a cardiac arrest, it is essentially death by "natural causes". I highly doubt that any autopsy would even search for another cause of death other than the cardiac arrest. (unless the body was found wearing a mask next to a tank of hydrogen gas) Then it would be quite obvious. :D
