Thanks for your response however aren't the rules a bit different for rich and famous cases? Of recent note - the Armstrong suicide.

LE has a portion of their website dedicated to the release of information on this matter, it was high profile from the beginning. If you look at the high profile suicide that just happened in the news, the suicide determination came out directly after the autopsy.
She was found outside, not in the bedroom. She did have a scarf around her neck. It would not be difficult to loop a cord over the railing and tie it to the scarf. Whatever cord she used was accessible to her. It is irrelevant where it was kept. It may have been right on the patio for all we know.
all, JMO.
Not a news article. A blog post from a non-news organization.
BBM: Surprise, Surprise! What a crock.....
LE has made it clear that the unique circumstances of this case are why they are investigating these two deaths. If no crime is found, they will simply close the case.
LE does not conduct the autopsy nor do they sign death certificates. That's up to the ME. The media can find out autopsy conclusions when the death certificate is filed (made public).
In my experience, the rules are the same as far as the media and police are concerned. Neither is going to allow the rich and famous dictate what they do or say. Media have to work with LE on an ongoing basis and are not about to pizz them off because police will stop giving them anything at all. And neither is going to intentionally allow a crime be swept under the rug.
Well as a blogger his points have merit in what the knot indicates, the comments made by the sister and the kind of evidence needed. He pretty much laid out the facts that are floating around.
Is that not true?

I believe they are investigating this death because of the violent nature of her death and very very suspicious scene, not because of it being unique imo. The autopsy records have been sealed, I'm assuming that was done by LE.

or
"While its unusual for a woman to commit suicide while naked and out in the open, sources said Zahau often went outside". :banghead:
That's news to me, considering that in quite a few recent cases police announced a suicide even before tox screen came back.
There were 2 recently on So Cal.
Base Ball player and Reality actor both reported within a day or so.
Autopsy records are sealed by Judges, not police and it is commonly done while investigations are still active.
I said "unique circumstances." The police said they opened an investigation because of "suspicious circumstances."
Those were suicides involving public figures. Rebecca was not a public figure, her boyfriend is. Big, big difference.
But by someone request. The Judge can agree or disagree with the request.
JS and RN are connected in this case.
Guess I should have said "public figure" instead of "rich and famous".
It would be a prosecutor requesting the seal. There is an on-going investigation. No reason for the Judge to disagree.
I can post links to plenty of cases publicly ruled suicides of people who were not public figures.
