Prophecy could even have been that an allies' magic kills him
Welp, the deed is done. This will probably severely mess up Boris mentally and I'd guess that he'll probably always hold some resentement for us (and himself) even if he doesn't admit it to himself.
It might be on Boris' demand, but we did murder his daddy.
At least now I guess tributaries are going to be pushed at great speed in Kislev, I don't think Boris could live with himself if he didn't get the most out of his own dad's murder.

I don't think he'd consciously choose to blame Mathilde, you're correct. But emotions and feelings aren't governed by logic and reason, and aren't 100% under our control. It's entirely plausible that on some level he'll blame, resent, or even hate Mathilde, even if he knows he shouldn't and does his best not to. If he does end up feeling that way I'd expect him to do his best not to let those feelings influence his decisions, and to treat Mathilde with respect, but that wouldn't mean the feelings didn't exist or that he couldn't be subconsciously influenced by them.
Also, to be clear, I'm not saying that this is something which definitely will happen. Just that it's a possibility that he'll react like this emotionally.
I do not think 'at least' fits here, faster and more effective tributaries will not only save thousand of lives, they will save thousands of souls. From the perspective of preventing humans suffering we are very far in the positives even before considering the Everchosen no matter how sad Boris gets.

Off the top of my head:
Panoramia planned on doing full autopsies on the animals she experimented with;
The Creeping Flesh is noted as having done more good for medicine than bad because of necromancers;
The organ we surrendered was studied thoroughly and analogous ones were found and exploited for money;
The Grey who has Hobgoblins sent after her frequently has written papers on their anatomy;
The book on the anatomy of Chaos Dwarves was accepted well...
All in all, there doesn't seem to be a stigma against autopsies.

I mean, there is this bit from the Organ Vat update, which I assume is what they were referring to regarding stigma against autopsy?

Morr is against them being done on humans, and it's probably associated with necromancers as a practice to some degree, but I don't think it's outright banned. Also, Morr isn't worshipped anywhere nearly as much in Kislev as in the Empire, and necromancers are much less of a historical issue. Add in that this is the head of the entire nation asking for the autopsy and that we know it will turn up something strange, and I'd be shocked if there were issues.

In terms of a Reman Empire that actually predated the Empire, there's one more, with 3e RP Signs of Faith page 4 referring to importing cults from the south:
Though obviously, nobody really cares about 3e.
There is another use of Reman Empire, which is to refer to the Empire that Myrmidia founded (for example, in 4e Up in Arms page 64), because the Tileans say she was born in Remas. This would obviously be a different thing entirely, being something that occurred after Sigmar and definitely wouldn't have included any Imperial territory.
(I'm pretty sure that map on the wiki page is fanmade, and I'm not sure what it's drawing on to say that her Empire would have included southern Wissenland- Up In Arms at most gives her southern Bretonnia and the Border Princes)

The natural cause I think this would look like isn't a heart attack, but rather a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm, where the major central blood vessel in the chest weakens on one side, bulges outward, and then bursts. This causes death by internal bleeding in the region of the heart. It's not nearly as common as heart attacks, but it's something that's common enough that whatever medical personnel initially examine the Tzar would think of it, especially with no external wounds. It would take opening him up and looking to tell that this was something else.
...also I want to go hug my cat. Murdering someone whose sins are of omission rather than commission is deeply unpleasant.
As Boney clarified, at least Kislev is perfectly neutral on the question of autopsies:

(5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6 = 58% chance of no complications)
A good coinflip to have won. Though I expect that complications in one or even two categories would still have been workable. The shadow knife choosing to fling itself into Vladimir's companion would have been quite unfortunate.
I can only imagine that a 1 on the company roll would have prompted a further roll on who that company is, like:
1: Single bedmate
2: Multiple bedmates
3: Bear
4: Ice Witch
5: Lahmian
6: Mork, actually

I can only hope the newly elevated Tsar does the decent thing and doesn't go after them as a suspect, because he's the only one in the world who really, really knows that that poor sap didn't do it.
That would be so much more luck than we deserve. But very, very funny.

Well... someone has to do it. Let's check shall we?
Edit: Well, well. That's interesting. I believe this is called... hate sex?

Mathilde: I hope i have enough Sleep spells to knock them all out.
Mathilde: This is weird even for me, and i seriously considered dating a Dragon once.
Mathilde: I don't know if their night has been really hot or really cold.
Mathilde: well shit, this complicates things.
Mathilde: HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK! WHY DO THIS KIND OF THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?! RANALD HELP ME!

Depends on the sex of his bedmate. Kunnin' might be more appropriate in some cases.

Which isn't much of a flaw because a vampire would want to avoid leaving that behind.
Dhar is not broadly thought of as being a subtle power to invoke if you are attempting subtle assassination. We know better but that is because Mathilde read the Big Book of Morite Heresy

Mathilde sucked away any magical traces, so the only clue is that the inside of his chest will look like a knife ran through it.
Probably think it's some kind of ritual magic or something.
Maybe though if they actually get a clever magician to think about it the lack of lingering magic actually speaks against a remote trigger, I do not think anyone invented a self-cleaning ritual. Certainly the one murder ritual we saw in Tableheim left a lot of traces for us to work with. That said I do not think Boris will be attempting to get complex answers out of this, after all he does not know which threads are marked Mathilde so he would want to pull as few of them as he can once he gets the conclusion he wants. Going back to that post I made about layers he would likely just get a priest, who says no lingering magic, then he will get a surgeon who finds the internal stabbing and that is that .
The perfidious Lahmians killed the Tsar in such a way as would seem natural at first sight but look here, magic!
This is a nice excuse to do several things:
- Consolidate power in a way that removes the maybe-Vampire-sympathizers
- Get the priesthood back in order so that (among other things) the evil vampires cannot explode any more Tsar hearts
- Get the Ice court going again so you can use Ice witches to hunt down those vampires
