Corrected entry: Natalie's roommate Tosh is strangled to death, and then her wrists are slashed. Because she is a goth the school officials assume she committed suicide by slitting her wrists. However, it's quite easy to tell if someone's been strangled - they couldn't have just dismissed it as suicide and be done with it.

Correction: The reason her wrists were slit was to make it appear like a suicide. Most of the bruising associated with strangling doesn't show up immediately, sometimes even days later during autopsy. By finding a body with the wrists slit, they would not have done an autopsy, as they believed no foul-play had been committed. Also, even if they noticed the slight, if any, bruising around the neck, her alleged suicide was the primary cause of death, and might have been overlooked.
