Where is the information for manner of death? I have always seen it reported that there was no cause or manner of death known. Homicide doesn't mean murder. If you shove someone away from you and they fall and hit their head on something and die that is considered homicide as well. An accidental death is also often ruled a homicide simply because it's caused by something someone else did.
:twocents: Just to clarify: CAUSE of death is the reason why somebody dies, MANNER of death is the how and the third criteria a medical examiner identifies is a TIME of death (if possible and as accurate as possible)
You are absolutely correct in stating that homicide does not always mean murder, homicide is the taking of another person's life (for example...the DP!)
:innocent: Just clarifying as needed. :seeya:
