I wonder how much pressure there was on the doctor who performed the autopsy to reach certain conclusions. Also, who determined who was going to perform the autopsy?

I'm no doctor, but that autopsy had to be like dissecting a saltine cracker. I don't see how the conclusions from such an autopsy could possibly have any credibility. The forensic doctor could pretty much say anything he wanted. I don't trust the whole thing. Not at all.

"The forensic doctor could pretty much say anything he wanted"

How could he do so and have it comport with the 247 pictures taken, the fluids lab tests and medical slide samples taken of the tissue much less with all the historical documentation of the patient?

After reading the autopsy, the only bone I would pick with the thorough ME was his 'cause of death' rambling/obfuscation. Folks can read a lot into an ME's report (from whatever perspective), but the numbers and specimens aren't actually in question. [EX.: did the ME find that she suffered collapse from complications of bulimia? ... No, he wouldn't find either way because she lived a healthy electrolyte life for fifteen years! But some will say the autopsy proves she didn't have bulimia. It does no such thing. It doesn't try to because the ME isn't in that business on a patient so far removed in time from when she might have had an eating disorder.]
