They’ve overused the usual suspicious deaths. They’re running out of options. This one, they can say, “Well, they could always have done it an easier way”.
I don’t know why they didn’t just make a movie-type mock-up for her if they wanted her to appear in the casket. That’s why I didn’t pay attention when the funeral was held. Maybe they were afraid somebody would be able to tell it was fake. I don’t know.
What I do know is that her body would have been squished if she was in that coffin, and there is no way that her hands could have been in that position and no way that we’d just see a couple little bumps sticking out from above. Not just her hands but her arms would have had to be on top of the rest of her body.
If they were really going to have an open-casket funeral the funeral home would have put her in position with hands together and measured her at the widest point, where the bent elbows would be at her side. They would have seen that it was larger than the standard size and would have put her in a plus-sized casket. I was reading up on how they do things, and that’s how. They never intended to have an open-casket funeral for her. Either that, or they had no body to measure. Or forgot which casket they were supposed to use at the funeral.
“They’ve overused the usual suspicious deaths.”
Dies in her sleep is not suspicious. And since the coroner is involved they can make any claim about cause of death.
