Nevertheless, the Salt Lake medical examiner's office still hasn't released an autopsy and toxicology report and may not do so for another month or more from now.
According to Dennis McGowan, a public information officer with the Salt Lake City Police Department, the medical examiner anticipated that the report wouldn't be completed eight to twelve weeks after McGregor's death, "and we're at about week nine right now." He adds that it "could possibly take as much as twelve to sixteen weeks."
Why so long? A March 8 Denver Post piece presciently titled "Toxicology Results on Keli McGregor Still Weeks Away" quotes another SLCPD spokesperson, Sgt. Robin Snyder, who explained that evidence is expedited when foul play is suspected -- and that's not the case with McGregor. She told the paper that "because this is not a suspicious death, it will be low on a priority list."
But probably few in Colorado expected it to be this low.
