Car explodes in Allentown Saturday night

Why are they doing an autopsy when they obviously died due to the explosion and resultant fire? I thought we didn't do autopsies on obvious deaths, or is that rule only in place for SCOTUS members?

I guess that they have to determine whether they were shot in the head before they were blown up.

It's Allentown, they were probably stabbed.

They probably had dirt on the clintons

Is their death truly obvious ?
Is it 100% certain they were alive before the explosion ?

Right, we don't know, that's why we look. That's why autopsies are done.

One of the things that crossed my mind was a nitro's oxide bottle explosion. All of these young kids run around in jap scrap cars thinking they are cool. The bottle could have been leaking into the car. Someone lights a lighter and BOOM! Does anyone know how the PD knew this was criminal right away? If they already had an idea something was going on, why didn't they prevent it?

They found bystander video:

A lady said she saw body parts on the ground. It sounded pretty nasty.

Don’t know if it was removed, but the first cell phone video I saw on FB by some Spanish speaking guy, showed a few body parts.

There are always some folks who are on LE’s radar and you know it is not if, but when something will occur.

Because people have liberties and this is real life and not television or the movies.
