Coroners report stated "coronary thrombrosis" was the cause of his death. Well....How in the hell did he know that considering they never gave my dad an autopsy ??

If your dad was under a doctor's care at the time of death, the treating dr. certify's the death indicating the cause. In most state laws, an autopsy is performed when the deceased is not under a doctor's care and/or the death was under questionable circumstances. The treating doctor should have signed off on the death certicicate. It would be an incorrect procedure for the coroner to designate cause without input from the treating doctor and the doctor's signature. Check and balance at work to prevent any untoward conduct.
Yes, it is possible there was cardiac arrest from arrhythmia or stroke (thrombrosis).
It is difficult to predict the outcome of any arrhythmia patterns. Premature ventricular contractions is usually harmless and there is a return to normal timing. But wayward electrical impulses can trigger a chain reaction to other impulses that conflict with a normal response and can result in a more serious outcome.
