  • Authorities are awaiting the results of the autopsy and toxicology reports

And oh - on the blood stain question the answer is:

Hydrogen peroxide can safely and effectively remove blood stains from porous surfaces like concrete further dilution for other materials.

But you knew that already.

#7  ^^^

I suppose one should turn on private browsing before googling "does suffocation show up on an autopsy?

Nah, that's a light question, for pvt browsing & gurgle... (switch to duckduckgo.com) then ask

How many bodies can I bury in my backyard before anyone gets suspicious. (?)

#6  There are stories about carbonated lakes "burbing" out dissolved CO2 and suffocating villages.

I suppose one should turn on private browsing before googling "does suffocation show up on an autopsy?"

#5  My boy is up in Mammoth mountain and he warned us while hiking about Carbon monoxide that comes out in some areas and displaces the oxygen. You get tired, dizzy, then dead in fairly rapid order if you aren't paying attention. I would think the autopsy can spot that sort of thing.

#4  Well, the nature trail they were on is in an area named "Devil's Gulch". Possibly for a reason.
