Autopsy Finds Staten Island Mother May Have Killed Family
Friday, July 30, 2010
Autopsy results show that a 14-year-old Staten Island boy wasn't responsible for killing his family. Instead, police say the evidence points towards the child's mother, whose death was ruled a suicide. According to the medical examiner, the boy and his two younger sisters had their throats slashed and did not show signs of smoke inhalation, which suggests they were dead before the house was set on fire. Neighbors are baffled by the deaths.
