'nograyzone asked how the fire could start'

Yes I did, but this is an autopsy thread.....we didn't have it back in the other thread. This one is saying she was a drunk, which is why she died.

Totally different.

[Gabrial]

“Acute alcohol consumption; prior to 5a.m. On a ‘big day’ at work? Can anyone honestly believe that?”

Nope.

[Gabrial]

“nograyzone asked how the fire could start
the other thread discusses that in great detail
FWIW”

My bad. In my excitement, I thought you were responding to me. I caught it after I sent the message.

Still don't know why mods bumped story from breaking. This is big news.

We have been waiting for a cause of death and the results of the autopsy. It was just announced today hidden in the Friday news dump as I expected it would be.

This is breaking news. Less than 90 minutes old.

And why should we believe this report?

Just be a good citizen and believe it for the good of the whole. /s

[investigateworld]

Nawwww, that what mother - in - laws are for. Have the old bat warm up your ride before you drive off. j/k, always had great MIL(s)

[NoGrayZone]

"On a ‘big day’ at work?"

Big day at work? Probably one of the BIGGEST in her life!

My stupid theory.... if the blood alcohol content is real, she was unconscious when someone or someones poured alcohol down her throat...then lit the poor lady on fire.

[Gabrial]

“From the first reports, it was my understanding she was leaving home when the ‘accident’ occurred. “

Yes, and husband had said he thought she had left for work.

This smells really bad.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

And dumped on a late Friday evening on a ‘big’(historical arcs and all!) news day. Anyone know if the husband is back to work?

[Deb]

Gee, I sure hope Nancy Pelosi doesn’t get drunk and crash into her garage.

[altura]

The death seems odd, but does anyone know why someone would want her dead?

[NoGrayZone]

I just hit the “abuse” button and begged them to put it back into breaking.

It IS big news.

Thanks...I’ll be quiet now!

[Nachum]

Thanks. Updated the dead pool file :)

I have been camped out on the stinking Friday Obama news dump looking for this.

True to form. They try and bury it at 5:00 PM on a Friday.

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!

[NoGrayZone]

"The death seems odd, but does anyone know why someone would want her dead?"

That is the million dollar question that no one wants to answer.

[nascarnation]

Is Arkancide back, Chicago style?

I expected suspicious deaths to ramp up two years ago when the Baraqqi regime took power.

Kind of surprised it took so long.

I also expected some Ruby Ridge / Branch Davidian episodes so that Eric Holder could show patriots who’s boss. So far it hasn’t really happened. Maybe he doesn’t have as big b@lls as Janet Reno?

[wintertime]

It took this long to determine blood alcohol level? Hm?.... I don’t think so.

[SJSAMPLE]

One theory is that she drove into a bench in her garage and punctured her radiator. The fluid in her radiator was ignited by her HID headlights (Xenon ?).

Seriously, that’s the prevalent theory.

[McGruff]

Investigators think Turton was backing out of the garage when the BMW rolled forward, striking a work bench, Piringer said.

So she got drunk at home before leaving to catch a flight?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Aren’t BALs a baseline, quick turn around type test? (Or have I read too many crime novels?)
