So let’s make a list of what has not been ruled out:
Murder
Heat stroke
But murder has been ruled out. No?

From link: (perhaps some toxins are still under consideration)My initial thoughts were these deaths were definitely related to toxins (in some form). But, I've decided the deaths will be determined to be heat stroke, heat exhaustion (heat related - whatever the terminology).
I thought homicide was ruled out some time ago?
Deaths of Google engineer, wife, baby and dog during hike are now NOT being treated as murder - California News Times
Mariposa County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kristie Mitchell said: ‘Initially, yes, when we come across a family with no apparent cause of death, there’s no smoking gun, there’s no suicide note, there’s nothing like that, we have to consider all options.
‘Now that we’re five days in, no, we’re no longer considering homicide as a cause of death.’

Quoted me before I could clean up my post! Thank you.Suicide is a manner of death, the other are causes of death. Odd to me they grouped it together and left out homicide.

Might be the fact they are a very small, unsophisticated department and they don’t separate prior to issuing death certificates. I’m guessing, obviously.:/ Sorry —I edited that out based on your edit. I’m wondering why manner and causes weren’t addressed separately by LE.
I’m not LE, but maybe they’re not being technical…just providing info in a way that the average reader (like me, apparently ) can understand. I.e., they’re not trying to sound like the ME; rather, they are just trying to answer questions that might be in people’s mind. Moo.:/ Sorry —I edited that out based on your edit.
