Agree, there's no reason to jump to any conclusions or make assumptions about a "friend" with a criminal background who buried the young boy after he died, nor to question his accounting of the events.
Ohio police peg person of interest in case of missing boy, 14
Of course, we don't know all the facts. The news reports of autopsy results and discovery of his buried body are the only real facts the public knows at this point. We also know his "friend" had a criminal background and waited several days before telling police where the boy was buried.
The coroner did have other options in ruling on the nature of Jonathan's death. He could have ruled "natural causes", "suicide", "accidental overdose" or "death by misadventure". Instead, the coroner chose "homicide", which, at minimum, means at least one other person was involved in Jonathan's death.
Homicide
Call me confused about how some think Jonathan was consciously involved in his own death, along with another person. Since we're speculating here, based on a few known facts in the media, can someone give an example of that scenario? TIA.
Innocent boy 14 y/o + visiting a farm + ex-con + death by acute fentanyl overdose + surreptitious burial + grave not discovered for several days after LE questioning and investigating + coroner rules homicide = probable accident or the boy took the drugs himself?
ETA: All JMO, not wishing to cast aspersions or imply guilt of Jonathan's "friend".
