    many crimes are hidden under camouflage of Suicide, drowning, accidental fall, cardiac arrest etc. etc.

    Remember some time back, one genius from Kasaragod (yes, Kasaragod) forced a lady into water tub ensuring death by suffocation and then threw the body into sea... initially people thought, lady had committed suicide by jumping into sea... but later...

    one more lady genius in KL killed many family members through cyanide mixed in beverage... instant death claimed to be cardiac arrest... this came to light after years...

    "It is suspected that their boat capsized after it dashed into the pillar of the bridge."

    --- why suspicion? the version given out by the survivors is not convincing enough??

    there could be some other "angle" to this incident... was it a normal boat or speed boat?
