"An autopsy for Turton is still pending."



Really....it has been a month and a suspected homicide and no autopsy has yet even been performed? Does it usually take so long for an autopsy? I thought they were immediate in cases like this.

From WTOP,

"Beverly Fields, chief of staff at the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner says Turton's autopsy is pending, awaiting other tests. The initial physical autopsy did not provide a cause and manner for her death. "

The DC coroner had such a backlog a few years ago that the Post wrote an expose. I'm not surprised to hear they haven't caught up.

Bad writing. The results are still pending. The autopsy was performed very soon after death. They are still cooking the books and destroying the skull xrays that show a “snowstorm of metal and a hole 0.45in. in diameter” a la Ron Brown.

They’re delaying the autopsy until after she votes for Rahm Emanuel.
