Thanks for the post and sympathies to the family - truly is a loss to the community.

Faraday - since I NEVER listen to Belling anymore, I'm wondering what he was questioning? My husband heard bits and pieces and was fairly disgusted. The pathology for a drowning (and/or foul play) is very obvious and doesn't need toxicology reports. So,is Belling questioning whether or not this was a suicide? Does he suspect drug involvement? If Quadracci had suffered heart/lung failure, or some other life threatening problem due to drugs, again toxicology reports aren't necessary...they simply confirm the pathology found on autopsy and examination. I also wonder if a man under sufficient distress to take his own life would have bothered to put on his swim trunks beforehand. Of course, medication could have been a contributing factor to an accidental fall...but I think at this point, only God and Harry knows exactly what happened and speculation from Belling (although he thinks he's God) is just another example, to me, of Belling flapping his jaw without sufficient knowledge of a topic, and in this instance, in extremely poor taste...but from Belling, I guess that's to be expected. ;^)

RD, I believe what Belling was saying is that the finding by the coroner was rather quick given the circumstances. That this would not have been the case for someone less renowned in the community. He was supported in this by several callers, including some who claimed to be in law enforcement. I don't believe he was being disrespectful of the Quadraccis, but was questioning how civil authorities were handling their responsibilities. Belling has a skeptical, perhaps cynical, view of the world. This also turns me off at times, but he can raise interesting questions.
