DOVER, Del. - More than a month after a Texas man killed his former
daughter-in-law and another woman in a Delaware courthouse before taking his own
life, state officials have agreed to release his autopsy report to his family.
Thomas Matusiewicz (muh-TOO'-suh-wits) shot and killed 39-year-old Christine
Belford and a friend, 47-year-old Laura Mulford on Feb. 11 before exchanging
gunfire with police and putting a gun to his own head.
Attorney General Beau Biden's office had refused to allow Delaware's medical
examiner to release the results of Matusiewicz's autopsy to his family, citing
an ongoing investigation into the use of force by police during the courthouse
shooting.
Biden told The Associated Press on Thursday that his office had authorized
the release of the autopsy report to Matusiewicz's family on Wednesday.
