Sapphire, NC asked in Wrongful Death for North Carolina

Q: I am looking to reopen the investigation into my mothers death what do I need to do?

I am currently wanting to reopen an investigation on my mother death they did two separate autopsies and neither of which said she had passed away from natural causes or if someone had done something to her. Her husband which is my stepfather and her had a argument the night before and it was said my mother had went to sleep on the couch, he stated he woke up and she had said she wasn't feeling well she was ill and he went to work. At that time he said he got halfway there and turned around and came back to her and she was at that time having a hard time with her breathing (she was convulsing, and she had a foam coming from her mouth) at that time he called 911 and had paramedics on there way but it seemed to take them a bit from what he says but when paramedics arrived she was DOA but they resesitated her three times the last time they got her stable for a bit and the paramedic said when he looked at my stepfathers face he had a look of fear!
