Police:
Woman Found In Fumigated Building Didn't Kill Herself
Detectives Say Safety Guidelines May Have Been Violated
SAN DIEGO -- A
police investigation indicated a San Diego woman did not commit
suicide when she died inside a condominium that was being fumigated
for termites.
The body of the woman
was found inside the North Park building in March, hours after
fumigators injected a deadly gas.
The president of the
Homeowners' Association said Williams must have climbed into the
building after it was tented.
The fumigation company
said it followed all the safety guidelines.
Homicide
detectives, though, now say there may have been violations of
state law. They have forwarded the case to the district attorney's
office, which may file criminal charges.
The fumigation company
did not return phone calls seeking comment.
* Note
from FAN: Sulfuryl fluoride VIKANE was used as the fumigant. See
previous articles: March
9 and March
