Cause of death: murdered ------- there was a witness
Her second husband turned on the gas stove (blew out pilot flame) and allowed the gas to kill her. Scene evidence would make that seem true. 2 Death certificates were made, each with a different cause of death. One was false and the other was the truth. He was never held accountable.
