The death of a lobbyist in a Capitol Hill garage fire last month has been ruled accidental by the D.C. medical examiner's office, which said Friday that 37-year-old Ashley Turton died from burns and inhaling "products of combustion."

An autopsy also found that "acute alcohol intoxication" contributed to her death, the office said.

Beverly Ann Fields is the Chief of Staff.

Unlike neighboring jurisdictions, like Maryland, in D.C., autopsy reports are not public documents and can only be requested by the family of the deceased, “the Mayor, law enforcement agencies or officials, and Fatality Review Committees/Boards,” according to the OCME website.

Hard to be in the state of acute alcohol intoxication at 5:00 AM.

What would get you there the quickest?

EverClear sure would.

190 proof pure ethanol. No color. No flavor. Made up of one simple molecule.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everclear_(alcohol)

It has been used as an undetectable accelerant in arson cases.

Turn the sound down because these drunk guys cuss up a storm when they torch the shower in their hotel room with Everclear. The blue flames are from one mouthful of the stuff.

Oh yeah, you can buy it in DC too.

Many a Russian maintenance crew got bombed on that crap when they used to fuel their military jets with it.

They are definitely two different stories on an issue that the lying MSM is attempting to bury. This is a very important story raising big questions about what happened and why to the wife of an important 0bama staffer. Throw in her background (DeLauro, Emmanuel, Pelosi) and you have a volatile mix.

The stories being concocted as the explanation are preposterous and changing. That the press is totally AWOL on this is suspicious too. As stated upthread, if this story involved the Hill aide of George W. Bush, the MSM would have been all over this like white on rice.

Keep posting Gabrial! It is what FR and the alternative media is for.

It beggars belief.

Exactly. You could also say accurately that it requires a willing suspension of disbelief.

A little reveiw for some new people on this thread from back in Jan:

I was checking the logs and found a search that was done with the following:

ashley turton federal reserve

Being the curious man I am, I decided to look a bit and found the following at the economicpolicyjournal:
The rumors are swirling big time in D.C. Here’s what one anonymous commenter wrote at my earlier post:
Now this gets interesting, because Rosa DeLauro owned the house in which Rahm Emanuel lived rent-free during House sessions for five years. Word from DC is that the place was wired for audio and video. Ashley Turton, as DeLauro’s chief of staff, probably wrote the checks to pay bills on that condo and would be privy to “extra” expenses

It appears we are being watched by someone at a crisis management company that works with the energy companies and someone in the white house.

http://whoseparanoid.blogspot.com/2011/01/ashley-turton-atf-joins-investigation.html

The PR firm Burson-Marsteller’s, that is monitoring is being run by Mark Penn, this firm lead the way in promoting the food bill ,found this on the net :

So, Stanley Greenberg, who lets Rahm Emanuel live in his house in DC rent free, in exchange for the contract to do the PR for the Democrat congressional agenda, is also connected to Monsanto, as well as BP? One of Greenberg’s pr firms designed the “Beyond Petroleum” campaign for BP.

Oh, and the partners in that other PR firm, the one with the Congressional contract, are James Carville and Shrum.

It is positively incestuous

the real show is going on down the street, where Monsanto is taking massive control over all farms through the falsely named “food safety” bills, introduced by Rosa DeLauro whose husband, Stanley Greenburg got rich from working for Clinton and Monsanto. And the agriculture committee is loaded with people who have gotten large donations from ... who else? ... Monsanto

I know a lot of farmers.

I'll have to forward this to them.

They'll be absolutely stunned! I'm sure they think they are the ones farming.

Guess we're back to "The Stupid Farmer" syndrome again.

Have you read the food bill? I have a customer that will not be able to package his product due to the huge cost of the recall part of the food bill. No big deal for big packers but if you employee a few and package a little you will not be able to afford it.

I have found info very hard to come by in DC. I’m guessing the powers that be do not like sunshine.

Investigators think Turton was backing out of the garage when the BMW rolled forward and struck a work bench ...

...Authorities have said they think Turton was striken by a medical problem or lost consciousness for some other reason as she backed up the inclined driveway....
_____________________________________

Let me see if I got this straight:
Beore going to work, she drank large amounts of alcohol quickly. Got in her SUV, was backing out the garage, backing up the driveway, rolling forward striking the work bench?

Cool, she has a SUV that can do somersaults.

Perhaps they mean that the driveway is inclined upwards as you go out. She was backing out, was struck by a medical problem and lost consciousness. Then the car rolled back down into the garage, struck the workbench and caught fire.

At 2:50 in you can pause the video and get a good look at the right hand wall of the garage using the zoom feature (right click).

Sure seem there is no door into the house.

Sure is. The Turton case is getting too weird and there is the stench of a cover-up. Not only is there something off with the investigation. Turton’s bizarre death qualifies for front page headlines. Yet they are missing.
