[null and void]

I am discussing the issue of Dr. Laura's mother being murdered. I guess no one cares about who, what, how, why the woman was killed?

In California, unless a physician is present at the time, a death is ALWAYS treated as a murder. This insures that the scene is treated as a crime scene and potential evidence isn't destroyed. As soon as an autopsy verifies a cause of thead, the staus will be updated.

Usually it turns out not to be murder.

Apparently the autopsy agreed with the cops that it is a homicide. They must know the cause of death in order to say that.
