...medical examiner for Maryland and an expert on drowning cases, who said that anatomical evidence of drowning would already have disappeared.* Spitz argued that Mary Jo did in fact drown-but not immediately. A pinkish froth around the nose, he said, indicated that she "remained alive for a certain time" while the car was under water in Poucha Pond. "She breathed, that girl," Spitz said. "She wasn't dead instantaneously." Three other pathologists testified that even now an autopsy might yield explicit evidence on the cause of death...

Nor are many more willing to tolerate what is reported...
...there is legitimate suspicion of foul play before exhuming their daughter's body. Dinis maintains that the suspicion already exists, raised by the delay before the death was reported and the apparent contradictions in Kennedy's public accounting of the episode. To underscore discrepancies regarding the exact time of the accident, Dinis played a tape recording of Kennedy's televised explanation of the event. Kennedy himself was in Europe last week for a meeting of the North Atlantic Assembly. Dinis summoned none of the others present at the Chappaquiddick party...
