"natural causes" naturally causes suspicion nowadays

"Authorities initially believed Jasmine died of natural causes, which is what her parents said they were told later Sunday." Seward, Christopher. "Gwinnett parents of slain Valdosta State student seek answers." Atlanta Journal-Constitution. November 24, 2012. http://www.ajc.com/news/news/gwinnett-parents-of-slain-valdosta-state-student-s/nTD3Q/

The murder of a young female undergraduate student and the initial reporting of her death to her parents as a death from natural causes in those few basic facts is unpleasantly familiar:

Lydersen, Kari. "University Accused of Lying to Hide Killing." Washington Post. June 21, 2007. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/20/AR2007062002172.html

Hopefully the similarities end at those few items... and hopefully the case will be solved soon.
