It just keeps getting worse. The
information on the autopsies were released today.
PUYALLUP, Wash. — Josh Powell used a
hatchet to try to kill his two young sons before igniting the
gasoline he'd spread throughout his home, creating the inferno that
ultimately claimed them.
That startling information came from the
results of an autopsy that determined Charlie and Braden Powell
died from carbon monoxide poisoning. But 5-year-old Braden also
suffered "chop injuries" to his head and neck. His 7-year-old
brother, Charlie, suffered a chop injury to his neck, said Melissa
Baker, an investigator with the Pierce County Medical Examiner's
Office.
Josh Powell's death was listed as a
suicide. His sons' deaths were listed as homicides.
I don't know if any of you have followed this story, but it came to an
awful end today.
Susan Powell went missing from a Salt Lake suburb in 2009 and
her husband (Josh) has been a person of interest from the
beginning. He moved to WA to live with his parents and last fall
the Grandpa was charged with posession of Child porn so the kids
were removed from the house and were living with Susan's parents.
This morning they were taken to Josh's house for a supervised
visit. He escorted the children inside but wouldn't allow the
supervisor she called her supervisor from the property but Josh
shut the door and then the house exploded. I feel so badly for
those children what an awful way to die and purposely at the hands
of their father.
