The autopsy shows that the child was murdered deliberately, not accidentally. Two potential causes of death were shown, i.e., the garrote deliberately placed around the neck and tightened to the point of asphyxiation, and a powerful blow with some blunt object that completely caved in one side of the child’s head. I can’t reconcile those facts with the idea that a murder/cover-up was committed by any member of the family.
The year before the murder, Burke “accidentally” hit JonBenet in the face with a golf club.
