They actually decide to test the Emmy's ruling.
That whole part about lack of oxygen because he was in a sealed toy chest.
Because was it even sealed?
They know that it automatically locks if it shuts, but...
By the time of JoJo's autopsy, it doesn't seem like anyone had actually tested whether or not air could flow through when it was shut and locked.
So, like, locked versus, like, airtight.
And guess what?
They test this thing by putting a light inside.
And light shines through the cracks.
Which means if light can get through the cracks... That means air has got to be able to pass through, too.
So it was not sealed like the autopsy said.
Then while investigators are at it, they also try to recreate the scene.
They use a mannequin similar in size to Jojo.
And this thing barely fits inside the chest at all because the chest wasn't empty.
When Brandon says he went in there, there were toys inside of it.
Specifically, there was this large Batman doll that took up a significant amount of space.
So with all of this new info, the medical examiner actually goes back to amend the report.
In non-medical jargon, it now says that JoJo died from lack of oxygen, but they just can't say how.
Undetermined.
