There was a nearly lifeless body face down on the floor. That would be evidence of foul play, wouldn't you think?
Terri's bloodwork showed two different tests indicative of violence but no natural cause for her injuries. That is strong evidence of foul play. But the two policemen closed their report in one hour and never even checked with the ER for a medical report on Terri.

Not if investigators, medical facilities and coroners make an effort to find what happened.

Where do you get this stuff? The leading causes of death and injury to young women are 1) domestic violence, and 2) auto wrecks [only a nudge behind]. No other cause comes even close.
It is because violence is the leading cause of death to young women that it has to be eliminated as a possibility before you even think of looking elsewhere (Occam's razor). It certainly was not eliminated in Terri's case. Don't forget her abnormal blood tests, and don't forget that her bone scan was positive for multiple traumas.
Come on now. We all know that Terri woke up in the middle of the night and decided to drink FOUR GALLONS of ice tea and that's what caused her problem. The lesson we ALL need to learn from this is how incredible dangerous it is to keep FOUR GALLONS of ice tea in our refrigerators; for that matter, we should make ice tea a controlled substance.
"There was a nearly lifeless body face down on the floor. That would be evidence of foul play, wouldn't you think?" Not by itself. It would not rule out foul play on its face but certainly is not by itself evidence.
Bloodwork is not going to show evidence of violence. Marks on the body, broken bones, unexplained cuts, bruises or contusions would. Apparently none of that existed. You really need to reason TO a conclusion not FROM one.
Even after extensive tests many cases cannot really be explained with a cause of death.
Do you TRY and miss the point when you don't like the implications? We were speaking of cases of death through UNKNOWN reasons not cases of domestic abuse (there is almost always PLENTY of evidence of abuse there) or auto accidents.
There was NO evidence that Michael ever abused Terri. Not in the blood not in the bones NONE. But grasping at straws seems to be a pasttime for those trying to convict him of killing her.
