The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will work directly with D.C. Police to determine how 37-year-old Ashley Westbrook Turton's SUV became engulfed in flames in the garage of her home early Monday.

...the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has finished an autopsy on Turton. D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner Chief of Staff Beverly Fields says more testing needs to be done to determine the cause and manner of death.

Let's see. Her car was engulfed in flames while she was BACKING OUT of her garage on her way to work. She is a lobbyist for a company that is creating the largest utility company on the planet through a merger that is pending approval. Her husband is in Obama's inner circle. She used to work as Chief of Staff for the person that let Rahm Emmanual use a rent free residence in D.C.

The Chief Medical Examiner HAS FINISHED THE AUTOPSY AND CAN'T DETERMINE A CAUSE OF DEATH.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and EXPLOSIVES is called into to investigate.

All lamestream media outlets have dropped this story like a hot potato.

Is it just me that thinks this strong 37 year old mother of three driving one of the safest cars in the world (2008 BMW X5) was snuffed out?

What did she know?

Well it could be a major conspiracy, like the plot of a Hollywood movie.

Or it could be a robbery-murder. Those things happen in DC.

After all the misplaced speculation over the past week about the murders/assassination attempt in Tucson, I’m beginning to think that the non-political solution to a crime is the one to consider first. When the commonplace explanation has been eliminated, *then* it’s time to start the more fantastic speculation.

I hope they find out quickly. You are right, this story has all but been off the pages. What a terrible loss, young mom of three small children.

Her SUV engulfing in flames looks like the same as what happened to Robert Deniro’s character in the movie Casino.

Life imitating art??

Saw the pictures of the garage and car. Here’s my conspiracy theory contribution. The car was unrecognizable as such, yet nothing at all had happened to the aluminum step-ladder mere feet from pieces of the car. Any fire hot enough to reduce that car into that state should have caused some warping or damage to that ladder.

Yep, it would have been impossible to find anyone who looked any healthier than her FB pic. Late model cars almost never burn unless involved in a very high impact collision or an electrical fire which are slow developing. At any rate still very rare.

She didn’t die of natural causes.

The letter bombs in Maryland, could Turton’s death be related? Theory -—>One of the bombs worked (as planned) and Turton’s SUV and herself were the victims? I am simply running a theory, I do not know.

And it was purely coincidence that Rahm said the ‘crisis’ in Tucson shouldn’t be utilized for anything [i.e.: that it *should* be allowed to go to waste]. No chance, I suppose, that Rahm had the fatal car fire tragedy on his mind when he spoke.

That's not at all unusual. It just means that they didn't find an obvious cause of death through physical examination of the body and are waiting for the forensic analysis of tissue and body fluids to be completed. That usually takes about a week. The autopsy really is not finished at this point, and I doubt very much that the medical examiner has yet reached any definitive conclusions or prepared his autopsy report.

The ATF should get the FBI to help them investigate, after all, both agencies have PROVEN themselves in covering up investigating fires, such as that which they the cult members started at Waco.

Why is Obama not making a public annoounce,emt of grief about her death.

It could have been right wing extremists/s

THe Chicago leftist fascist hit machine seems to be doing well. Thats four suspicious deaths of information bearing individuals:

Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr.

Cristopher Kelly

John Wheeler

Ashley Westbrook Turton

These are the ones we "know of" who have died under suspicious circumstances.
