MEDICAL EXAMINER: CAYLEE ANTHONY 'WAS HOMICIDE'

IN HAPPIER TIMES
TRAGIC tot Caylee Anthony was definitely murdered, but it is impossible to say how Orange County's Chief Medical Examiner told the court in party mom Casey Anthony's murder trial.   
Dr. Jan Garavaglia told the rapt jury she had concluded that the two-year-old's death was a homicide because of three factors.
First, Caylee was not reported missing because she thought an accidental death, such as drowning, would have been reported.
Second, the fact that  Caylee's body was hidden, and finally, the presence of duct tape on Caylee's face led her to believe the tot was definitely murdered, but she could not say how the tot had died.
She said: "It's very difficult, when the body is that decomposed, to say why they died," she said, reports the station."
She added there was no noticeable trauma to Caylee's bones, but it is impossible to know if there was trauma to her tissue.
The trial continues.
