BOGOTA (Reuters) - A Colombian investigation into the death of Jorge Enrique Pizano, a key witness at the centre of a corruption probe involving Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht [ODBES.UL], found that he died of a heart attack, the chief coroner said on Friday.

The attorney general's office on Tuesday had ordered a probe into Pizano's Nov. 9 death on fears of foul play after his son, Alejandro Pizano Ponce de Leon, died from cyanide poisoning two days later.
