FYI:
PUNA, BIG ISLAND (HawaiiNewsNow) -
An autopsy is scheduled Tuesday to determine how a woman died in Puna.
Big Island police said the 50-year-old woman's body was found Monday morning on Plumeria Street -- in the Fern Acres subdivision -- with a "suspicious injury."
Police have not ruled out foul play.
No arrests have been made.

That sounds like they found a battered body just lying there, doesn't it?
The news item doesn't mention that when the police "found" the body, they were responding to a 911 call for medical help; someone was already performing CPR, and several neighbors were helping in various ways.
Makes me think there's a lot more to any story than what you read in the paper.

The autopsy says the wounds were superficial, and cause of death was a medical condition.

Well that de-escalated quickly. Original story made it sound so much worse than it actually was. Click bait.

Would be interesting to know what medical condition, now non-invasive given that the subject is dead.

Head wounds can look really spectacular, even when minor. A person could have a seizure or heart attack, fall and strike their head, making it look like they were beaten, and then die from the original medical event. Someone coming upon the scene could easily come to the wrong conclusion until an autopsy was done.

When I was in nursing school, we had to witness an autopsy. One of the cases was an elderly woman, found dead in her home. Nothing was stolen, but the family found items upturned, thrown about, and she had a bleeding wound from the head. To rule out foul play, an autopsy was done. It was a sub arachnoid brain bleed. Caused ataxia (off balance) and items were knocked over before she finally collapsed and passed.
