The SOURCES won't tell you what the coroner was thinking when they
said that.

>>>>>> both say it means. On the basis of an AI response which doesn't

>>> Mindless bullshit with the coroner's claim

> 
>> Their claim about the meaning of what they said themselves?

> Yep, they just claim that and never say where they got that

So there was no point to you reading the article that prompted your
question to the AI, since it was all just repeating the coroner's
claims anyway.
