He took a crossbow bolt to his guts. His juices went everywhere, filling all cavities in his body. That's why he stunk. Kevan would never poison Tywin. There is nothing to support him wanting his bro dead, and numerous supporting bits that cement Kevan's loyalty to Tywin.

I felt like GRRM battering us over the head with how much his corpse stunk had to be for more of a reason than just to show us that he isn't all that and a bag of potato chips. It could be a red herring, but I think there is some backstory to it.

ETA: Just found this comprehensive list of points that has made me believe Tywin was poisoned.

I can agree with Kevan but I have to disagree on the rest.

I do think it's valid to point out that no one was complaining about Jon Arryn's stench after he was legitimately poisoned. Which makes me think it's far less about being poisoned and more about he just wasn't prepped properly (or sat "out" for too long before discovered).

Although hoe do you explain Jaime's thoughts? Here is the lord commander of the Kingsguard, a man who has built his life around death, and even he thinks Tywins stench is abnormal. Now granted his first thought goes towards an improper preparation of the body but then again what does a knight know about poison?
