    Unless she took some pills or sliced open her wrists on the way down, the coroner is only going say she died from a fall and plays no role in determining motivation. The daily beast sucks.

      I don’t think people get that coroner is often an elected position and you need no medical expertise.

      This is a misleading comment. Coroners can lead investigations into deaths. Their job is literally to investigate suspicious deaths. And yes, they can say if they suspect foul play. That’s why, in this story, the coroner stated they are investigating.
