Fight?
Sounds kinda consensual, id argue bathroom assault fits better.
I mean no offense, but the article says the victim told police the fight started when they poured water on the girls. I'm not saying the girls did or didn't deserve it, and I'm not condoning anyone's actions, but that sounds like a fight. Probably not a fair fight, but a fight.
But to be fair, the police also said the initial autopsy showed the fight and the death were "unrelated," which is suspicious at best, so who knows if we can trust what they say?
I agree with you on the first part but
The police have also proven themselves to be untrustworthy time and time again. And it's no secret that this has become a huge national conflict that a particular political party that "backs the blue" is certainly not happy about. So I would be completely unsurprised if facts were being twisted.
I believe that autopsies are often not reliable / have repeatable results. They’re called out in Kahneman’s book Noise as being among the more noisy “sciences.” I have a particular distrust when I think there may be a political or ideological motivation behind the results, such as in this case or in killings by police officers.
Did they say what was the cause of the death then?
No but shallow breathing, curling hands and eyes rolling back sounds like a brain bleed or drug overdose
