New Orleans coroner finds no sign of homicide in Katrina mercy killing case
CHICAGO (AFP) - A New Orleans coroner has found no sign of homicide in the alleged mercy killing of four elderly patients in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, local media reports.
Orleans Parish Coroner Frank Minyard told the New Orleans Times Picayune that the physical evidence in the deaths patients in a flood-ravaged hospital does not indicate whether they died of natural causes or homicide.
"We did everything we were asked to do," Minyard said. "We took toxicology and sent it up to one of the best labs in the country for them to analyze...But as we stand now, with all of the consultants we have used in our investigation, the classification is undetermined."
The classification of undetermined means it is unclear whether the patients died of natural causes, accident, suicide or homicide.
