Philipsburg: --- The pathologist that examined the bodies of Bart Pasman and Simone Santos Montilla could not come up with a conclusive cause of death of both victims said Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos. Mos said toxicology tests have to be conducted and the results should be back on St. Maarten within six weeks. Pasman's body was found at his home early Saturday morning; the doctor that pronounced him dead said he died of natural causes. While it is believed that Pasman died of heart attack further, testing would have to be conducted before that is determined. The medical doctor who pronounced Montilla dead on Saturday afternoon also said she died of natural causes but family members and neighbors of the deceased woman said she was suicidal and that she committed suicide to escape spousal abuse. In the meantime the bodies have been released to the families for burial.
