    Woman found dead ....She was found bleeding from the mouth

    So, was it decided that it was a murder! What was the cause of death?

    Call Grisham at CSI Las Vegas. He's the only guy I'd trust for this. "Let the evidence speak for itself!" (I need a vacation!)

    What was the cause of death? Bleeding from the mouth covered by a futon? That doesn't say anything.
