THE series of events surrounding the death of a British family of three, including their baby and pet dog is yet to be unfold as their autopsies failed to reveal how they died, Oyogist reports.
“This is just a tragic, frustrating case for us,” Mariposa County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kristie Mitchell said on Thursday.
“It will probably be a long, tedious investigation.”
A necropsy, an autopsy performed on an animal, is being conducted on Oksi, the family dog.
According to Mariposa County Sheriff Jeremy Briese said:
“I’ve been here for 20 years, and I’ve never seen a death-related case like this.
“There’s no obvious indicators of how it occurred.”You have two healthy adults, you have a healthy child, and what appears to be a healthy canine all within a general same area.
“So right now, we’re treating the coroner investigation as a homicide until we can establish the cause.
“None of the bodies had physical wounds such as gunshots or signs of trauma, and no suicide note was found, Mitchell said.
