I also found Garth's description of Tammy being half on half off the bed, yet hearing a "thud", supposedly when this occurred. I don't understand why she would not have been all the way off the bed and how he accounts for this.
I do think that this was included in Garth's grand jury testimony. Supposedly his mother-in-law was called to testify about overhearing Garth say that he lifted Tammy back onto the bed.
A friend of mine died a couple of years ago. She was in the hospital and her son was standing by. He had been told that all her kidneys and lungs were shutting down, and she appeared comatose, when she suddenly flipped over. He took it that she was not as close to death as they had said. I took it as some kind of reflex movement by a body in the throes of death.
That’s a good point, sometimes bodies spasm early post-mortem.
(And really close loved ones of the dying are more likely to interpret data, like any movement, optimistically.)
I am inclined to believe that the truth is that Chad tried to move her off the floor, where she was lying dead because Chad didn’t want to catch zzz’s next to her. Eww, and besides, he had a special long body pillow named Lori, and the bed wasn’t big enough for the three of them.
In the morning he was surprised that she felt heavier and forgot how weak his own earthly body was. So he dropped her, making a thud, then tried to put her on the bed part at a time. Then, he heard others awake and started screaming.
Or, because Chaddy deserved a good scare:
Chad killed her, then, having no remorse, figured that he may as well get some sleep before calling 911. In this version, he shares the bed with the body, yucky, but safer if someone comes into the room before he wakes. He sleepily opens his eyes and semi-conscious, he briefly considers that he is full of poopie, not one of the chosen ones, and perhaps a real deity could be Old Testament angry. Tammy’s body spasms, and he momentarily imagines his “real” deity has brought her back to life for the task of killing him. He screams for mercy.
