An update

People can be so cruel. Despite being outgoing and previously respected, my step-daughter and son-in-law have had to endure accusatory glances from neighbors as police sealed off their apartment for the standard investigation that is done when a young one dies. It's been a depressing, horrifying, and degrading experience for everyone for the past couple of days. But now, the coroner has officially ruled the death as not being caused by any malicious activity. The funeral arrangements, which had been completed except for the availability of a body, can now proceed as planned. And the neighbours have again started coming forward with condolences and offers of financial assistance.
