Adam-I-Am,
I donÔt know what the law allows exactly, but I know there is a recent case where a mother refused to accept the suicide ruling for her daughter who was found hanging, and she hired forensic investigators.
After 5 years, Florida reopened the case and rescinded the suicide ruling. Her death has been reclassified as a homicide.
The Sheena Morris story ran on 20/20 this last October.
Here is an article on it, lots more online including the 20/20 segment.

I donÔt know what to think with this case here. I donÔt feel like it is possible to begin to conclude anything definite until the police share the results of the DNA evidence and the note.
That said, cases such as Sheena Morris and Dawn Gambsky give us reason not to say "oh, then that is that" when the police make a ruling.
