Below are brief excerpts from recent reporting, casting doubt on homicide, algae blooms, and CO from abandoned gold mines as possible causes of death:
"Mariposa County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kristie Mitchell said: ‘… we’re no longer considering homicide as a cause of death.’ "
"The California Department of Public Health said it did not know of any human deaths from ‘recreational or drinking water exposure to cyanobacterial toxin’ although some animals have been killed by algae."
"Dr. Mike Nelson, professor of mining engineering at University of Utah, has cast doubt on the theory that CO emissions from an old gold mine were possibly to blame for the deaths. […] Nelson explained that gold mines are not known to produce CO, and even if the gas were present, it would have gone up into the air. He also noted that the family were found outdoors and not in an enclosed space where exposure to carbon monoxide could be lethal."
Since toxicology reports take weeks to finish, I’m sure additional possible causes of death will surface, including bad ones like aliens. I'm thinking the dog necropsy would finish much sooner than human toxicology tests, and provide significant clues.
