Hello, medical examiner here. You are going to see a lot of people saying this today. This is 100% a misinterpretation of this autopsy report. What the Medical Examiners office has released is a preliminary report, it is not the final version. 1/?

@samarialainen Yes the bones will absolutely remain quite hard, though the rest of a decomposing body can be very soft, depending on how long they've been that way (although if they've leatherized they can be quite hard). That said, the ribs may indeed be easier to break.

Asphyxia as a cause of death often DOES NOT demonstrate physical findings. There are some, but they are nonspecific and not present in all cases. As such to make the diagnosis, the ME needs to exclude other potential causes of death which will necessitate a toxicology report 2/?

The worst part of all live action adaptations (that aren't Battle Angel Alita) is that they are deeply embarrassed by their source material having once been a cartoon so they have to at once be cloying reverant while also cinemasins-ing their own plot.

The presence of natural disease such as coronary artery atherosclerosis does not exclude traumatic or positional asphyxia as a cause of death. Those findings may be ultimately deemed contributory, however it does not make the manner not a homicide.

It would have been ideal if, for example, there had been cutaneous and ocular petechiae or hemorrhage in the soft tissue of the back. But often in cases like this those findings are not present and it makes things very difficult and unfortunately easy for media to misconstrue.

It seems like it would be helpful to include something about contributory causes here. When the report says that underlying natural disease may have contributed to his death it is just that, *contributing*. A nonnatural cause of death will always trump a natural contributor
