medical examiner. oh, my! what did the m.e. discover? the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, coupled with drowning. in such a way that it could have happened accidentally, or did it seem homicide? with the emmys physical findings, there was foul play. we were looking for somebody that cause of death. reporter: as for the medical examiner, here s what they said. one side of samira the s skull was fractured, which certainly could have meant she hit her head on the way to the pool. but the other side of her head was damaged, too. as simple slip and fall couldn t happen from that. but remember, the emmy saw evidence of both blood force trauma and drowning, which meant she was still alive when she had the water. so, was it murder? it looked like yes. they detectives went to work. we collected as much physical evidence as we could,
before. but it is talked about in sports. baseball even. from a fastball, for example. where it hit someone in the chest, i just the right time. or just a long time is maybe. and causes arrhythmia. then he had the significant blows to the chest as part of that play that we saw. that may have been what caused that. we just don t know at this point. i think they re gonna want to sort of ascertain if he was in an abnormal rhythm. did he require a different later? the disheartening to be shocked back into a rhythm? that happened? that have been a, fielded happen in the ambulance, it has not been. get those all important questions. because that is the goal. it got a restart the heart that is one most effective way to do it. and what happens once the heart is restarted? is any kind of blood force
she hit her head on the way to the pool, but the other side of her head was damaged to, a simple slip and fall couldn t come from that. remember he saw evidence of both blood force trauma and drowning, which meant she was still alive when she hit the water, so, was it murder? it looked like yes, the detectives went to work. we collect as much physical evidence as we could and we interviewed everybody that was that had seen her last and were close to her. like the men who found her in the pool, the handyman, gerald gardner. he was somebody that we needed to talk to you and rule out as a suspect. police thought there was something odd about gerald gardener, or at least what he said when he called 9-1-1. the operator asked him to get into the pool and pull samira out. anyway you can jump in and get her? i probably can, but i prefer
cases you have to consider everything. you can t just assume it is a homicide although a lot of other circumstantial evidence seems to point that way and the approach that came with an open mind, you are looking for as you said injuries. i don t know the cause of death but i consider gamut of cup possibilities like gunshot wounds, stab wounds, you have to pull out his fixie a or strangulation to the neck, make sure there s no blood force trauma to the head or other parts of the body so a lot of potential ways she could have been killed. is not just one way. sometimes a combination of things. casting a wide net and looking for those injuries. jillian: a lot of people are questioning what will they find on her body in terms of dna.
