Medical examiner: Hairdresser was drunk before fiery crash

The report attributed Lightfoot's demise to smoke inhalation and thermal injury, adding she was clearly drunk before crashing her car.

"Elizabeth Lightfoot's family is confused and heartbroken with the current ruling by the M.E's office," said family spokesman Blake Lewis.
 ::snipping2::
But sources say the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were brought in to examine the evidence, and investigators determined Lightfoot crashed her car, and that led to the fire.

The medical examiner also ruled that Lightfoot's blood alcohol level was nearly 0.36 — more than four times the legal limit, and a dangerous level for anyone.

Her family disagrees with the official findings. "I think we continue to believe there's a murder," Lewis said. "There are too many unanswered questions. The cause of the fire in the vehicle is only but one piece of the broader situation."

Dallas police say they will maintain an open mind about this still-unsolved case.
 ::snipping2::
A similar statement was issued late Monday afternoon by Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Lt. Joel Lavender: "This case will remain in an 'Under Investigation Status' until factual information is identified that better explains Ms. Lightfoot's death."

The fire department statement said that the circumstances surrounding the woman's death "are not open to discussion at this time" and added that the department will make no further statements "due to the sensitivity of this case and our ongoing investigation."

I'd like to leave Elizabeth Lightfoot's case thread here in "unsolved", especially after reading this article cartfly has posted.

Can someone explain to me how Elizabeth was a blond at the party earlier in the evening and was brunette later at the convenience store?  I don't think she colored her hair in her car on the way home.

KittyMom, from what I read on the comments, this photo was not taken the night she died.  It is an older photo.  Otherwise, I don't know.

This is the copy underneath the photo.

Girls' night out: Miss Lightfoot, second from right, was out with colleagues from her former hairdressers, Salon D, the night she died. This is a picture from an earlier evening with the friends.
 

So, I guess this media source got things wrong.
