    Huh?

    How can they say there's "no foul play" if 'the cause of death has not yet been determined"?

      "How can they say there's "no foul play" if 'the cause of death has not yet been determined"?"

      They didn't say "no foul play", they said "no evidence of foul play". It's an important distinction. What they mean is there were no signs of forced entry, no injuries on the body, no indicators of poisoning or OD and so on. So until they have a post mortem indicating that Greenberg might have been murdered, they're not starting an investigation.

    And now he's found it.

    I'll see myself out.

    Agree with Naughtyhorse, 28 is awfully young to exit. Peace and condolences unto his friends, family, colleagues, and other loved ones.
