Thank you for all the replies December!!!
I didn't realise autopsy said rapid drowning - does the autopsy say that her watch was in the tank but she was not wearing it? Falling into the tank and aspirating on the way in seems so unlikely when factoring in all her clothes are in there separately - for it to be accidental - she must have been butt nekked holding all her clothes and then managed to fall into the hole and get all the clothes into the hole also. It just seems so unfathomable.
As for rectal bleeding, did you have access to the autopsy? What did it say exactly? I would have thought this would have had to have been sustained while alive and also out of the tank (as loss of circulation + vasoconstriction from the temparature of the tank would have made bleeding unlikely?)
When I read about the bleeding, the possibility of sexual assualt was a concern for me... thinking about the reaction that may occur in that situation, there is that almost cliche response of sitting in a bath/shower in the fetal position and trying to 'cleanse' the body after that physical and psychological violation. If i was a victim of that sort of crime i would not want to be doing that in a public shower. Is it possible she was aimlessly wandering about the building, not knowing what to do, just not wanting to stand still? Once she got to the roof she threw the 'dirty' clothes into the tank and then feeling as though she was inadequately purged, she felt as though she needed to get in?
While the pressing all the buttons in the elevator might have some correlation with this, her facial expressions/movements seem more childlike/playful?
At a stretch, the only way I can possibly link that to the elevator footage is if as a result of the trauma she has shifted into an alter ego, perhaps a child like persona during the trauma to mitigate the situation :S :S :S It is a massive stretch...
Additionally, a lack of evidence of damage to her clothing could add weight against this (but not necessarily exclude it - she may have been strongly persuaded to remove the clothing prior to the fact and it was only afterwards the true gravity of the situation was felt)
With a better understanding of what the actual trauma was it might be simple to dismiss this. If not, again I would be curious to know what her other movements were on that night (ie lobby/elevator footage of when/where she entered the lifts and her state in that footage)
Re the 14th floor bathrooms being locked, i'm not sure... see
The "rapid drowning" comment on the autopsy helps clear up the hypothermia side of things. It also suggests that if someone else drowned her, it was likely to have been somewhere else - i think it would be near impossible to hold someone under from that hatch on the tank unless you have arms that are 5 feet long (enter alien conspiracy theorists
)... Or is use of the word rapid just a filler? What distinguishes rapid drowning from a slow or regular speed drowning?
Re her living at home, i probably misinterpreted, i thought i picked up something on her tumblr that made me think she was living away from home?
Oh and were all her meds detected on the autopsy? One of the things I wasn't sure of was if nothing was detected because the testing was lacking sensitivity after that long...
Thank you again for taking the time to answer!
