What's up with the 2 deaths? Murders?

Steve, I'm not sure what it represents - a death in which police or fire were notified by 911, but is not a homicide? A suspicious death that is eventually determined to be from natural causes?

Dyer digs deep like a journalist should.

3:10: I do, and it would be helpful to the community if others started following my example. Silver Spring Transit Center, anyone? I've been totally vindicated on that. Just go back to the transportation forum in Silver Spring last year, review the video, and listen carefully to what I said - and then compare it to what incumbent councilmembers said that night. Then read the WMATA request this week. #Oops

Hint: The big SSTC headline this week is not that bus drivers are doing test runs.

Looks like at least one of these was natural causes.
