JACK HOLDON (NEWS ANCHOR)- It is a death that is so far stumping the Fresno County Coroners office, the latest round of test failed to determine a cause of death for a seemingly healthy 37 year old woman mother of four.  Zoua Vang joins us from the news room with more on that story.

ZOUA VANG-  Well jack the latest test results have come back, they bring no new clues as to what might have killed Linda Adanalian.  Last February she took  her kids to a show At the convention center, and as she and her kids walked out, she collapsed, shortly after she died.  

Last spring Adanalian’s body was exhumed and her heart sent to Stanford medical center because there was still no determination as to why she died.  Despite a preliminary test conducted by the mayo clinic earlier this year which indicated “considering all of the available autopsy and historical information it appears that death was most likely due to a cardiac disorder”  the latest test done by Stanford Medical Center fails to find a cause of death.  In summary, “we are unable to provide a morphological explanation for this patients sudden death episode.

DAVID DALITION (BROTHER)-  We are left struggling trying to understand what happened.

ZOUA VANG- Adanalian’s brother Dave Dalition says the not knowing is hard.

DAVID DALITION- The matters have been complicated by the fact that Linda's husband and his attorney have pressured the corner to short-circuit the investigation

ZOUA VANG-Dalition is talking about this letter.  Linda's husband's attorney wrote the coroners office saying if the report is not issued within 72 hours my client is demanding a meeting with you, the appropriate state and county officials for an explanation….Finally my client is prepared to pursue every legal remedy…Warren Paboojian Attorney

Mark Adanalian says no harm was intended

MARK ADANALIAN- We want to know too. and that’s what this is all about.  We want to know like they do

ZOUA VANG- The Dalitions say they to will continue digging for the truth.  

DAVID DALITION- We know there was martial discord.  The connection between that and her death is uncertain at this time. 

ZOUA VANG- Adanalian says those statements have hurt his reputation. 

MARK ADANALIAN- Ask anybody that’s married have you ever argued with your wife or argued with your husband , anybody that says no is lying.

ZOUA VANG- Mark Adanalian says what's sad in all this is that not only did he lose his wife, but it appears that he's also lost his in-laws

The Fresno County Coroner's office this not determined a cause of death yet but it does tell us that experts have recently met and are expected to come out with a ruling in the next couple of weeks
