Level 4 · 3 weeks agoThe coroner ruling this undetermined is a cop out. Clothes inside, furniture moved, tips ignored. That's not undetermined thats a failed investigation.
Harold
Level 10 · 3 weeks agoPolice: 'no evidence of foul play.' Also police: demolished the scene, cremated the body, ignored the tips. Solid detective work guys, truly.
Barnaby
Level 3 · 3 weeks agoThe paradoxical undressing theory doesn't hold up when temps were above 48 degrees that night. Hypothermia barely kicks in at those conditions. That alone should've killed the accident ruling.
