Usually if it was a lynching there would be signs of struggle/other physical trauma. I don't know all of the facts but am open to either possibility, but San Francisco seems like an unlikely place to cover it up. Sometimes suicidal thoughts come on very quickly. It has happened to me. Thankfully that was a very long time ago.
The article states the medical examiner declined to confirm the cause of death actually, so whether or not there were signs of struggle is still up in the air. Why might the examiner have declined to confirm? Is that a common?
They usually don't confirm anything until they've completed their examination/investigation. That can take way longer than people think. There was a woman here who committed suicide and people were speculating that her ex actually killed her so the case was getting a ton of attention, and it took months for the coroner's office to release their final results. Another woman definitely was murdered by her husband a couple years ago. Her remains were found last September and the results were just announced a couple weeks ago. It's totally normal that they wouldn't say anything in this case yet.
I think that can sometimes happen if someone has committed and the family don't want that info to be public.
Yeah, hanging one's self is a very common suicide method. This probably requires more evidence than just "it could have happened, therefore it did happen"
SF has taken a weird turn to Musk/Thiel style bullshit recently.
I'm in the avenues and our school community is ocean beach. It's a weird conservative fake libertarian vibe lately.
