I don't automatically distrust a DA's version in such cases either.

judging by the lesser editorialized account, it sounds like the cause of death was a heart attack, not scalded to death. I dont know if some sources realize or care, but playing loose with facts casts an entire story in doubt. Painting the cause of death as scalding instead of a heart attack makes it hard to put faith in the rest of it.
