Morticians of Reddit, can you weigh in on the undetermined death of my boyfriend?
Hello, I have never posted anything about this before but two years ago my boyfriend literally dropped dead.
We went to the movies, and he seemed perfectly fine. We split up and he went back to his place and I back to mine. I was 26 and he was 28. The following day he texted me and others up until the evening and then stopped. The next day his mother called me concerned and I went and knocked on his door, no response ended up in a welfare check and he was on the floor staring up at the ceiling, dead. I didn’t see the scene but to his mom it seemed like he was about to take out the trash and had his shoes on.
The autopsy came back undetermined. We buried him thinking toxicology would turn up answers and his panel only came back for weed. He had lifesavers gummies at the theatre the night before and cereal in the morning before he died. He didn’t have a bump on the back of his head so his mom theorized that it came on slow enough that he felt bad and laid down instead of falling, but also came on sudden enough that he didn’t call for help.
If it’s worth mentioning his mom was upset and prolonged the autopsy a bit, he died on July 26th had a day before being found and I think the autopsy wasn’t until July 31st or later because she wasn’t ready, so open casket didn’t go that well. Is there something that could have been missed because the autopsy wasn’t done soon enough? What possibilities are out there?
People in our small town think I killed him somehow. When I was pulled in for questioning the cops said that unexplained deaths happen but not to 28 year olds.
He had the covid vaccine.
