This Lady That Died In Police Custody By Supposedly Choking Herself....
Advertisements [?]
with her shakle chain is a curious story.

I have a couple of questions that haven't been discussed in news accounts that I have heard about this matter.

First, if she was going to an alcoholic treatment program - why was she at the airport by herself? Why wasn't her husband or family with her to provide support in this situation?

Second, there seems to be questions as to how she could choke herself given the way she was chained to the bench. Her family say they don't believe it could happen. Now - wouldn't there be pictures of the 'crime scene'. Wouldn't the police send in their photographers to document the state in which she was found? There's been no mention of this on the news accounts.

Third, I know they did an autopsy but I'm told the family wants a second opinion and the coroner is not releasing certain organs. Why would they extract organs from the body? Did they do a blood alcohol test? Did they document whether or not she was under the influence of alcohol during her outbreak?

Just wondering. I'm not saying it couldn't have happened the way they are portraying it - but the above questions seem like reasonable queries in such a situation. Why aren't these being addressed?
