The Public Safety finding seems very weird to me: she had multiple blunt force injuries and pulmonary edema consistent with drowning. How did she get blunt force injuries? If you walk into the water to drown yourself, how would you get blunt force injuries? Was she striking her own head against rocks? This is the first that I've heard about witnesses showing her entering the water in a disoriented, confused state the day before she died.
Her case is now considered closed? After blunt force injuries to the victim, her drowning, and the "manner of her death" is undetermined. Why would they close the case so quickly?
Something doesn't smell right here.
I wonder who the witnesses are. This does have a smell about it.
Not sure of the terrain but did she slip, tumble, fall down go boom and roll into the drink ?
No clues via her facebook, twitter, tumbler,snapchat, etc. ?
"veracious" wrote at the time "Covert Google op? Inside of covert Google ops?" That doesn't sound implausible to me at all. Did Google get to the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office?
"black dog" wrote at the time "Awaiting autopsy results pending Google’s approval to do so." Also not implausible.
"Jack Black" wrote at the time "I suspect foul play." That seems to have been ruled out, but no explanation of her death is proffered by the Coroner's office!
So, during the time her body was submerged, her face might have suffered abrasions from being dragged along rocks and other debris.
NO evidence she was sexually assaulted. This is a suicide. Case closed.
Cute girl. What a shame. RIP. :-(
Could she not SWIM???
It is such a shame this beautiful, bright and successful young lady could not find a life worth living here in the US. RIP.
Tin foil hat on.
Was she working on Google’s contract with the NSA?

Dr. Elizabeth Fraze suggested that, considering the 23-year-old Google engineer’s history of pancreatitis and the fact that she was monitoring her blood sugar with a medical device, she may have experienced the cognitive impairment and behavioral changes that can accompany the low blood sugar state suffered by diabetics.
“Diabetics drive their cars into trees and wipe out buses of nuns all the time,” Fraze said. “My diabetic patients carry a card that says, ‘If I’m acting oddly, I’m diabetic. Please look into my blood sugar.’”
...
Fraze suggested that Ma could have been hypoglycemic rather than psychotic or suicidal, but said that her hypothesis didn’t contradict O’Hara’s conclusion that she had likely entered the water in a confused state and drowned.
“Hypoglycemia starves the brain,” Fraze said. “There are medical reasons that could explain her confusing actions.”
Fraze has practiced endocrinology for 37 years and is an adjunct professor at Stanford, but emphasized that her background is not in forensics and her knowledge of Ma’s death is limited to what she read in the Post and Ma’s autopsy report.
That report shows that Ma had slightly high blood sugar when she was autopsied, which Fraze said could indicate the Somogyi effect, a spike in blood sugar in response to hypoglycemia.
“...multiple minor blunt force injuries and pulmonary edema consistent with drowning.”
Since when are blunt force injuries consistent with drowning?
The autopsy report, obtained by the Town Crier, noted that witnesses saw Ma entering the water the previous day and that a 911 call showed her to be disoriented.
How could a 911 call "show her to be disoriented"? Did the caller think Ma was disoriented? Based on what?
Did the police show up and interview Chuchu Ma after the 911 call? If not, how do they know it was the same woman on both days? If so, what did the police do after interviewing her?
Not enough information.
