But it's not because the medical examiner must still determine, as we mentioned, cause and manner.

I'm not cooperating whatsoever.

And from my reading, my understanding, he has been very cooperative.

And so it might be that the L.A.

Remember, this body was found decaying in a trunk for quite some time.

department is saying, don't release the cause and manner of death, because if whoever did it knows, then they're going to be less likely to cooperate.

And you might have a situation where the medical examiner is like, I don't know the cause of death.

And I hate to say it, this could be an example.

You could have a situation, as we mentioned, that someone died of a heart attack, went off the side of a road, and then somebody dismembered their body.

I'm sorry that's a long-winded answer, but sometimes people get confused on cause and manner of death and think that every death is a murder, and it's not.

The dismemberment of the body did not cause the death and is not the manner of the death.

It's something that happened thereafter.

And so what you have is possibly a medical examiner.

This is just thought process.

We've had these cases before.

A medical examiner saying, I want to release that.

I don't know the cause of death.

or the cause of death is undetermined, or this individual died by these means, or I can't determine the cause.

Well, if they release that, you know who is not going to start cooperating?
