Homicide Reclassified - Proof?

Anyone remember this killing?

• A woman was killed Sunday night during a dispute with a family member in the Gresham neighborhood and detectives are questioning her father, police said.
  
  Terika Moore, 25, suffered blunt force trauma to the head inside her home in the 7700 block of South Morgan Street, authorities said.
  
  Paramedics found Moore unreponsive [sic] around 6:50 p.m. Sunday. She was taken to Saint Bernard Hospital and Healthcare Center, where she was pronounced dead at 8:01 p.m., according to the medical examiner's office.
  
  The victim's 47-year-old father is in custody in connection with the slaying, police said.

Terika wasn't much, small time dope fiend, only a dozen or so arrests in her short 25 years. That's almost an angel.

But thanks to the Cook County Medical Examiner and maybe a little push from CompStat, she's now a "Death by Natural Causes." Get a load of this:

Loses consciousness after a beating at the hands of her father, dies on scene with paramedics present, classified as a homicide. But a bloody January weekend and a desperate need to keep homicides under 40 results in the highlighted line in picture #1:

• ME ruled death NATURAL - Pulmonary Embolism, victim was struck in head by father who is in custody.

Any doctors want to let the readers know if a beating with documented head trauma might be enough to cause or loosen existing blood clots that might lead to a pulmonary embolism - and death?

We imagine that this one is going to disappear down the memory hole in short order. See that unchecked box at the top left the first photo? "Confidential Incident." Expect that to be changed before 9 AM this morning and expect an order to be cut that ALL homicides, death investigations and similar incidents will be checked as "confidential" until such time as our political and department masters deem it worthy of being observed by the masses.

Hey Zekman? How about instead of picking on coppers going through a tedious process, you look at the manipulation of numbers - you know, like when you used to be an actual reporter. All the numbers Pammy, because you know no one is going to care about a dead black dope head. Maybe you can get Jesse involved to see why Rahman-Noodle and McCompStat are downgrading a case where the only casualty is a dead minority woman.
