the complete lack of correlation between WCV powers and aneurysms mostly(or build up of symptoms for such). Nobody bleeding out their nose in WK, no mention of it being possible when Thomas almost kills Justine, ect. "When we rip the life force from someone it causes brain hemorrhages" In real life, we have people die mysteriously all the time, natural causes, ect. No reason to invent something for what would look like a natural mystery as apposed to supernatural. Covering up bite marks and drained corpses is more on the that line of thought.

Yes, people do die of natural causes, however in the case of Malcolm, who was from out of town, most likely middle aged at best, that diagnosis wouldn't be put on his death certificate without evidence, known medical history etc. There are no "bite marks or drained corpses" left behind when a WCV is done. I don't know about your state, but in ours if someone like Malcolm is found dead of no apparent cause, no one knows him or his medical history, an autopsy is automatically done to rule out foul play or suicide. Or this from a CNN story about death by natural causes..

However, in the case of a younger person with no history of a medical condition, “an autopsy becomes a much more critical part of the process. Young people don’t just die suddenly,” Fowler said.

That would be Malcolm, not saying that heart attack etc cannot be ruled out, but I'd think there would have been an autopsy.
There isn't an answer as to what the physical findings are for a death by WCV..
Conspiracy Theorist:
Generally White Court Vampires give people orgasms rather than aneurysms- perhaps you have confused the two?
There were several teams looking out for Harry for different purposes.
1. Morgan to keep him safe on his word to Margaret.
2. Ebeneezer to ensure Harry was raised in the same way he raised Margaret i.e. away from his family to be adopted in as an apprentice should he show talent.
3. Whoever was in cahoots with Justin, and dissappeared Harry into the system.
Morgan had no reason to off Malcolm and wouldn’t as this would be a breach of the law.
Eb might have offed Malcolm, as Blackstaff he could do so with impunity, but Harry hadn’t shown any ability as yet. Still an outside possibility and a grim one for Harry.
Number 3 is the most likely and that I think is the Merlin, recent WOJ indicates that the Merlin has been trying to manipulate Harry for years. Justin was a trusted senior Warden, exactly the person the Merlin would go to if he didn’t trust Lucio or Morgan in respect of Harry. It would be apt that the Merlin is guilty of a deliberate premeditated breach of the first law in killing Malcom Dresden having hounded Harry for a breach in self defence. The Merlin strikes me as a hypocrite of the first order.

No confusion, aneurysms leave physical evidence when people die of them. People do not die of orgasms generally, nor do orgasms leave physical evidence of why the person died, if they do. It could be why Lord Raith was always so careful in the disposal of his victims? A dead twenty something with no known health issues for whom a cause of death could be found would raise a lot of questions.

Not saying that this is true, but it all screams cover up. If Chauncy can be believed, he claimed that Malcolm was murdered. The question then becomes by whom? Why? Finally, who is covering it up?
forumghost:
I can't see it being Lara tbh, simply because if Raith had tracked them down, he'd have had her kill the defenseless child Harry too.
My top suspect would probably be Justin (or more likely whoever was helping him, no way that Justin himself had the resources to hide Harry so thoroughly that both Morgan and Eb couldn't find any trace of him, mundane or magical).
