I’m guessing that Maui County law enforcement interviewed the other passengers who were eyewitnesses and that the Medical Examiner also got a family history from relatives.
They spoke to no witnesses about Fuddy’s death. Period. They said they didn’t have to because HRS 841-03 was not in effect.
It would be in effect as lonq as Fuddy ended up dead and her pulse and respiration both first ceased while she was in the water.
What does that tell you, if HRS 841-3 was not in effect, ACCORDINQ TO THE MAUI POLICE CHIEF? Which requirement for HRS 841-3 to be in effect was actually not met?
So you surmise that is from the police investigation, and not the autopsy.
Only three were interviewed and the interviews are in the article. No one is asked if Fuddy could swim.
