The forensic pathologist also said that it is hard to connect party drúgs and thoracic aneúrysm, which was the cited cause of death on the autopsy.
Regarding toxicology, "Best sana kung kinunan ng blood at urine although sabi dito walang laman."
Fortun said that based on the autopsy report, there were no signs of rape.
She then added a statement, which was narrated like a piece of advice.
"Why not just zoom in on the possibility that the drúgs, whatever it was, individually or in combination caused death, intoxication of something. Alcohol is a drúg."
Regarding the alleged semen found, she said that it is inconclusive of rape.
"Kung sinasabing may nakitang spermatozoa, malabong ma-conclude na rape agad ito."
