The family of a 20-year-old woman pronounced dead after her ex-boyfriend reported a suicide attempt, says it's trying to convince investigators to look further into what happened.
"Did she take her life, or was her life taken from her," asked her brother Kaevaan, speaking for the family this week in raising questions about the events of the night of her death, that the family says it believes weren't fully examined.According to an LAPD death investigation report, Mackay argued with the ex-boyfriend on the evening of May 23, with whom she shared a 3rd floor apartment, about her reconnecting with a man out of state.
"I am heartbroken and grieving the loss of my beautiful smart and talented daughter," said her father, actor Dwayne Adway.The LAPD said in a statement Tuesday that detectives thoroughly investigated the circumstances of the death, that it was satisfied with the efforts of detectives, and said it had met with the Mackay family repeatedly to try to address each of their concerns.
The Medical Examiner said in a statement,"an autopsy was not required," based on an external examination and the circumstances surrounding the death, and referred questions to the LAPD.
