I wouldn't use any of your sentences.

You'd normally say what the poison was. My friend died of lead poisoning.

Are you referring to accidental poisoning, suicide, or murder? That could also make a difference to what you say.

Your sentences sound more like it was accidental or suicide.

My friend was murdered. Someone poisoned him.
Someone murdered my friend. He was poisoned.
