The following day, the chief inspector of the coroner's office, told the Associated Press whenever there is a suspicious death we would have an inquest to determine how the person died," Coroner Linda Virgill held a news conference and said a coroner's inquest would begin October 23. She described the death as "suspicious" because it was sudden and because Daniel was only twenty years old and very young, clarifying earlier statements by saying that it was "unnatural" for a man of twenty to die suddenly. She cautioned that the scheduling of an inquest did not necessarily mean foul play was suspected. "Whenever we have sudden deaths, and we term them 'suspicious deaths,' it is usual to have this type of procedure," The death would be considered suspicious until jurors determine otherwise according to Virgill.
