There are over 1400 posts. Can you provide the post number?The link is already provided on this thread. Regardless, some poisons can only be found for a short time after death. Poisons like cyanide can only be found up to 2 days after death. After two months buried, it wouldn't be possible to find many poisons anymore. Especially with body being embalmed, because embalming can interfere with toxicology.
Embalming only affects the blood and they may well have taken a blood sample beforehand but I haven't seen evidence she was embalmed. Some drugs can be found in the hair, muscle, liver, skeleton. Paracetamol acts on the liver for example. See the link I provided a few posts back.
ETA this link appears to show that a substance detected in the liver can indicate cyanide poisoning. We also know that medicines from the house were removed during the search.
Forensic research extends detection of cyanide poisoning
