Facing lawsuit for delay in releasing cause of death, Fort Bend medical examiner makes...
in Fort Bend County has taken a strange new twist as police and the chief examiner are now at odds over whether the man died by suicide or was killed.
“I have had some weird cases before, but man, this might be the top,” said Ty Clevenger, an attorney representing Atkinson’s widow, Yvette Atkinson, in the lawsuit. In a new federal complaint filed Friday, attorneys detailed what had happened since the initial lawsuit – when Pustilnik hadn’t yet made any ruling about Atkinson’s cause of death.
“Firearms tests are conducted by law enforcement agencies, not medical examiners,” the lawsuit states. Attorneys for the Atkinson family argue Pustilnik issued his cause of death to further delay the insurance payout, to paint Yvette Atkinson as a suspect and to justify the delays.
