          I know what your point is, I just think it’s pointless. Does it matter whether she was murdered in prison specifically, died because of bad prison conditions, died because another inmate murdered her or any other reason?

          The point is she was in prison she shouldn’t be in. And your “point” is just obnoxious.

            So… Let’s say your parents are murdered tomorrow. And the investigators and the news reports just say that they died suddenly on Monday, you know full well that they were actually murdered, they just ignored using the term ‘murdered’, you’d be totally okay with that?

            Those 2 phrasings have the exact same meaning to you?

              It wouldn’t matter because they’d be dead. They wouldn’t be able to feel any which way about it

                  It’s very clear - I as the living survivor would feel bad if my parents died in an unavoidable and unpredictable and unpreventable accident or say due to old age.

                  I’d feel much much differently if my parents were murdered.

                  We should call it murder because murder is the more accurate and descriptive term here.
