East played the ♥2, he did not discard it. "Discard" means "play a card that is neither (a) of the suit led, because you don't have any of those, nor (b) a trump".

Since S has a heart void, it doesn't matter what spot E plays.

In Gibs system, 3C would be artificial, showing a double-negative.

So is he, according to the description, South has 3+D, 4+C and twice rebiddable S (ie 6 of them), ergo he has no hearts.
