Going one step more, weed is legal, but weed laced with carfentanil (example only) is not, but illegal drug has been ruled out.
Yes, I agree with your interpretation.
When I watched the video of Sheriff Briese giving updates on this case, then asking questions of the public where they could win two tickets to a rodeo, my heart sank. I’m sure we will soon get a report to say they all succumbed to heatstroke or dehydration due to the massive hike they undertook.I’m not LE, but maybe they’re not being technical…just providing info in a way that the average reader (like me, apparently) can understand. I.e., they’re not trying to sound like the ME; rather, they are just trying to answer questions that might be in people’s mind. Moo.
Sheriff might wait for the ME to affirm cause/manner but wanted to put “something” out here. Idk. Moo and all that jazz. And there’s often a very fine line between suicide/accident. Not implying OD deaths in this case but we’ve all been shocked at least once by celebrity that was a known addict and perhaps suicidal, but their deaths often get ruled as accidental. I think because family and friends convince ME and LE “no, no way was he suicidal.” So ME goes with accidental because he really has no way of knowing if an OD is intentional, or not. Unless of course the deceased left a note.
Yup, bumping it for others catching up. @PerplexedPatty posted this from 9/30.
Maybe keep bringing the list over. I think it’d be interesting for us to list other possibilities now that we have a bit more info to work with.
from your link:
yes, it was heat related afaik.
My dogs will eat anything and a one y.o. can eat some table food, imo. French fries, pepperoni slices, Mac n cheese etc.
I wonder if they slept in them?
I doubt they slept. I think maybe they overnighted at the scene is what was meant and it got switched to “slept near them.” No way I’d close my eyes in that situation.
