Autopsy and Toxicology Report - Diane Schuler
This was probably posted already and I missed it. 20 pages.

The way he answered that question disturbed me. He was disrespectful of those that lost their lives and to their families.I DVR'd this show and just watched it tonight...a couple of comments...
I realize that DS and Barbara were not in Larry's studio, so they could not look directly at Larry, but just the stance of Daniel, made him appear uncaring and arrogant.
Then, when Larry asked Daniel to address the survivors of those killed in the other vehicle, instead of saying how sorry he was, or how he understood their loss, because he also lost loved ones...NO... he says, "they were not killed by an alcoholic". I think he really doesn't see how he is coming across, and it isn't at all compassionate.
As far as the attorney goes, DS needs to walk away and walk away fast. Barbara is so unappealing in his remarks and the way he grovelled to Larry King. He is so obviously in this only for the publicity.
IMO
They cant seem to get the story straight if she was a drinker or not a drinker.
KING: Daniel, how do you explain the vodka?
DANIEL SCHULER: Usually we keep it in our camper throughout the whole season, one bottle.
KING: Why?
Why?
JAY SCHULER: You know, you have pina coladas. You...
DANIEL SCHULER: Sitting by a campfire, cooking marshmallows. :waitasec:
JAY SCHULER: Right. With a campfire. This is...
BARBARA: Larry, I don't want you to think that they're talking about having a new bottle every week or day. They have one bottle for the season.
JAY SCHULER: This bottle would last from May until October because that...
KING: OK.

KING: Now, you know the New York City police are not lying.
BARBARA: Well, first, it's the state police, number one, Larry. But number two, I can assure you that if it ever occurs -- and it probably will never -- that if I cross-examine that expert, you're not going to ever hear that there was marijuana smoke -- smoked within that short period of time.
However, what is most difficult, frightening, most difficult to understand is here's a woman who never drank. Here's a woman who -- who loved these...
KING: No, she drank occasionally, he said.
BARBARA: Oh, Larry, you're talking two pina coladas a year. Without making a joke, I would think some of the newspaper people drink that much in a night.
Thanks for posting this, cloudajo - I do not recall looking at it previously, so if it was posted, it slipped past me.
Diane Shuler was truly torn apart and stood no chance of survival. Upon reading this, I note that no mention was made of burning to her body - perhaps I am missing references to burning due to my lack of knowledge concerning medical terms. I recall witnesses saying she was on fire and I would think that would be worth noting. Probably I just overlooked it.
Thanks also for the information you have posted concerning exhumation, further BAC, etc....
DOMINIC BARBARA, SCHULER FAMILY ATTORNEY: the chief medical examiner, Dr. Highland, tells us -- and I've never had this happen in 40 years -- says: "She has no signs of alcoholism, chronic alcoholism. Her liver, pancreas and every other part of her body, including the esophagus, shows no alcohol abuse."

SCM, while reading the autopsy, I was trying to find mention of charred skin..I would think the ME upon visual inspection would report charred or burned skin?
I don't know? I will have to read it again.
Yes, thank you cloudajo. I missed this as well.
There are a few references to parching of the skin and thermal changes. But not to the extent I would have expected.
I might look at it again later - too much medical jargon makes my brain tired! - tell me if you find it though!
BBM
Perhaps they were not killed by an alcoholic as DS states, but according to the tox. report They Were killed by a Drunk Driver.
Found something and I've updated my previous post

Snipped...
Is there a quote somewhere from the chief medical examiner, Dr. Highland, or is this just an attorney statement? If it's true, it certainly is interesting.
Absolutely, everything we know tells us she was intoxicated. Her husband has not come anywhere close to accepting that. I wonder if a second autopsy and/or BAC will help him accept the evidence or confuse him even more.
If he is convinced his Wife could not possibly have had a drinking problem, only three reasonable lines of thought are available to him - A) the BAC was wrong or B) she underwent a medical/psychological event that caused her to use an extreme amount of alcohol and pot while driving a car with 5 children in it or C) someone drugged her with these substances against her will and/or knowledge.
I think we all know B) and C) are HIGHLY unbelievable and, thus far, no independent physical evidence supports them as being possible. A) would really be the only thing that could support his beliefs.
