Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Miller family.
Rest in peace, beautiful Elizabeth. The world was a better place for the love and energy you so generously shared.
I feel for his entire family, that is an awful lot of sadness over the last few weeks for them to have to work through. This time of year makes it even harder to bear.
What does “passed away unexpectedly” mean? Will there be an autopsy?
That phrase means no apparent cause at onset. unexpected. Generally, accident, homicide or suspicious circumstances are reported as such.
Elizabeth was tragically young.
The requirement for an autopsy varies by jurisdiction and circumstance.
Brian Day talked to the Fulton County Coroner Sunday night. The cause of death is not listed, pending toxicology.
Which means almost nothing can be ruled out yet.
Wow.
