[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it was a heat-related death, why wouldn’t the medical examiner have picked up on that? Seems like that would be fairly obvious if the organs shut down due to heat exhaustion.

Unless you have a poorly trained ME.[/quote]

I've followed this thread closely and I also am not clear on this.  Unless the ME wants to wait for check the box and allow toxicology results to clear before making an announcement?   [/quote]

It's been covered here before, indeed, you have perhaps not followed as closely as you thought. Pages 67 and 72, for example.

[quote]I think the authorities could be wondering whether they tried to cool off in the river (maybe they had signs of being in the river? like mud on clothes) and want to make sure it wasn't an ADDITIONAL factor that EXACERBATED their difficulties withstanding the conditions (e.g., if they swam in the river, the dog drank water and got ill). Because if there was any toxic algae, the authorities would want to know, and be sure, so they can post warnings accordingly. [/quote]

Could be that authorities are exploring the possibility that any of them went in the river and were ALSO affected by the toxic algae, e.g., that it contributed to their distress. Or, they could be exploring the possibility that something else sped up their illness. Maybe finding all 4 in such a position might have seemed a little eerie and unusual, before they'd thought through all the potential scenarios, so they wanted just to rule out anything that hadn't occurred to them.
