Finally received the autopsy report. The medical examiner's office said that it was due to the record being undigitized. The only thing that stands out is that she had heart disease that gives the possibility of syncopal episode (fainting). The medical examiner theorizes that if this did happen this could have caused her to hit her head.
Here is a copy of the medical examiner's report that I requested. I will post full comments later. My initial impression is that there's not much here. There's not even any drawings of the injuries. So here below, the ME says: "c-spine did not show fx/dislocation" in reference to a break of the neck. Interpreted as cervical spine showed no effects or dislocation. What gets me is there is no description of the injuries to the head. This seems the ideal place to describe the injury or injuries to the head, but more time is spent describing jewelry and after effects of EMT work. If this is routine ME procedure, it doesn't seem a very scientific approach to accident investigation.
