Does waiving the full blood money for a wound preclude the right to qisas for the life if the wound later proves fatal?

The right to qisas for the life is not precluded even if the full blood money for the wound was waived. This situation is analogous to when a hand is cut off, heals, and then reopens, leading to death; the heir has the right to qisas for the life, though the right to waive it is limited to half the blood money.
