The state medical examiner has changed the manner of death from suicide to “undetermined” on the death certificate of high-powered lawyer John Sheridan Jr., after complaints from family members who contend that an investigation into the deaths of Sheridan and his wife had been botched by the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office.
State medical examiner Andrew Falzon, who reviewed the case after Sheridan’s four sons sought an amendment of the death certificate, also changed the certificate’s reference to self-inflicted stab wounds on Sheridan’s body to “injuries of undetermined etiology.” But Falzon made no change to the cause of death on the certificate, which still reads “sharp force injuries and smoke inhalation.”
