  I don't doubt the autopsy but i find this framing a bit weird

  > In the absence of an official autopsy, a coalition of right-wing pundits, conspiracy-minded journalists, crypto enthusiasts, and even Democratic politicians have questioned the circumstances of his death — and, at times, amplified misinformation about the case.

  How is this a left/right/crypto issue? Also, before official information is released, i would not consider speculations "misinformation"

  > Balaji was found dead Nov. 26 in his Lower Haight apartment. The San Francisco medical examiner quickly ruled it a suicide but did not release an official report until Friday.

  (article is 14.02.2025). So he needed a lot of time to put it on paper.

  > Ramarao later told The Standard that the secondary autopsy proved her son was shot in the back of the head from an angle at which he could not have shot himself,

  And none of them released autopsy reports. There is nothing to see here, please move along. /s
