The statements, etc. seem unusual. First, the coroner, though she's an MD, is not a Medical Examiner. It would be most interesting to see what the Cuy Co ME states as the cause of death.
Given the state of the crime scene, it would be logical to surmise that Macron was murdered. It seems like the coroner and sheriff are revealing just enough information to make it seem like Macron committed a bizarre form of suicide, but they apparently feel they don't have enough evidence to make that ruling official.
I find the coroner's speech unusual. Macron's stab wounds were serious. She doesn't mention the location of the wounds on his forearms. There's a whole lot she doesn't say in her speech.
Most conclusive, thought, is
the preliminary autopsy states Macron had nothing in his airways. No water, nothing. That means when he went into the water, he was dead. Not breathing. He didn't die from drowning.

There's no way someone can kill themselves, then get in a car, drive to a lake and throw themselves in while deceased. It's not a leap of faith to say someone killed him and threw his body in the lake. How else did it get there?
But to say his COD is undetermined is ridiculous. Someone transported him to the lake and threw him in. That rules out suicide and makes an accident seem highly improbable. Considering there was blood on the walls and ceiling of his office among signs of a struggle, murder is the only conclusion.
The sheriff is trying to distract attention from the evidence of murder by maligning Macron's reputation.
ETA: The tox report also rules out a drug overdose. Sheriff says Macron's computer is still being examined at Quantico. What's taking so long?
