Okay, well it seems I was wrong and any kind of MD in the US and Canada can prescribe psychiatric medication (that's illegal where I live). However, most doctors will probably not do it because their license is on the line if something goes wrong especially with that kind of medication and...

Well it's wrong to assume her physician was NOT a specialist. If you read the autopsy report you will see that in form 3A which lists the medicine that was found with her belongings, under physician it says: Dr. Sarah E. Scarfe. General practitioners or any other kinds of specialists cannot...

I don't think most people realize the extent of her disease. The autopsy report clearly states she was on Lamotrigine, Quetiapine, Venlafaxine, Wellbutrin (these being the medications prescribed by her psychiatrist). These are all very strong medications and an indicator that she was severely...

The amount of medicine they found in her system indicate that she did take her medicine recently, let's say 1-2 days. I don't think she stopped taking her medicine entirely because they found adequate doses of some of it in her system (such as venlafaxine and lamotrigine) and only bupropion...

So you're just assuming the cause of death to be dry drowning, correct? Cause in such an eventuality there wouldn't be fluid in the lungs. There were 200 ml of fluid in the left lung and 300 in the right one. While it's correct that in cases of dry drowning you could see mucus or froth this is...

The autopsy report says "scant secretions". Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the word "scant" meant "little amount" and not "dry, thick, sticky or stretchy". I'm still confused about the solidified carbon dioxide tho.

I'm gonna quote you again just in case you didn't get my drift. Solidified carbon dioxide is dry ice. From what you said one can conclude that the secretions they found in her upper respiratory tract are a result of dry ice. Which doesn't make any sense...

I'm gonna assume you meant 3 weeks. Her watch wasn't still on, it was found in the tank with the rest of her clothes which were the clothes she was wearing in the video. You can still angle it at let's say 45 degrees (basically anything less than 90 degrees) and if she jumped into the tank...

What? They found dry ice in her throat?

I personally do not think it's impossible for a person who is having a bipolar disorder episode to do all of that in such an organized manner. But I do see how some people think it's impossible for that to happen and I think these people have never seen a person exhibiting such symptoms. Mental...

Chloroform, guys? While acute exposure to chloroform wouldn't be detectable in an autopsy as chloroform leaves the body quickly, chronic intoxication with chemicals that break down into chloroform in the body will show up on an autopsy tho, you can find it in the liver an kidneys, but that's not...

Please keep in mind that Elisa Lam drowned in a water tank and not a lake or a bath tub. It's easier to push someone off a boat or submerge a person in an open space without leaving any trauma marks or evidence....it's more difficult to carry a person who's still alive into a water tank without...

I have to say that I've read the autopsy report from beginning to end twice and I think I have a good picture of what happened. I've also seen the video and read a few news articles about this case. I think I found the article about her father that you were talking about...

I completely agree with @Userid. Also I'm a little bit confused as to why some people still seem to think she was murdered/raped/drowned in a tub and then transported to the water tank (???????) even though there's so much compelling evidence that her death was accidental and not traumatic...

Form 3A of her autopsy report, it's one of the last pages of the pdf, should be right before the Toxicology analysis.
