- The autopsy found injuries consistent with a violent struggle before the fall and confirmed death from traumatic impact after plunging from a third-floor balcony.
- Neighbors reported a prolonged altercation and gave divergent versions of events, and the judge noted it is plausible the suspect was trying to restrain the victim.
- Investigators are awaiting toxicology results for both men and a laboratory analysis of roughly 1.5 grams of seized hashish to check for possible additives.
