Forever Knight never discusses the origin of the first vampire. Subsequent vampires are made by being bitten by a vampire who does not entirely drain you of blood. The protagonist of the show was a reluctant vampire trying to go "cold turkey" on human blood (he drank cow's blood for nourishment) because of the moral issues. Although he struggled with it the way a recovering alcoholic or a drug addict would struggle with staying on the wagon if surrounded by their substance of choice, the fact that he was attempting, even if with only mixed success, to stop would make me lean toward the "natural causes" type of explanation.
But to be completely honest, I tend to forget the "vile magic" parts of the LnC show, since I really don't like those episodes...
