I believe it is the reverse. It seems to be more difficult to prove death by fire as a suicide if there is no note or clear motive (depression etc) than a homicide, imo. However, if there is no note or anything to go on, it would make sense to approach it as a homicide and investigate to rule out any foul play. This case, in particular, with all of the elements would have to be investigated in such a way to cover every angle.Wow. I wonder how many cases are labeled suicide that aren't? Certainly easier to say suicide than investigate a homicide. And perhaps less "judgy" than saying rolling meth lab. Certainly seems like a tough way to kill yourself.
There was a case about a year (or two) here in CT where a guy was seriously burned in a car fire - as I recall, that did turn out to be someone cooking meth, and I think he survived.
Now what if they are wrong about it being a homicide? Can they backpedal the decision to classify it as a homicide or do they just leave it open without any end? As we can see so far...they have nothing so they keep throwing money at it. It makes it appear they are doing something at least.
