Hello Corey,
Medical Examiner reports cannot be released to a third party with the next of kin’s permission, or if the death is under investigation.
The death of Kimberly Hardy is an open investigation and the report will not be released. Additionally, Jaden’s family has denied permission for his report to be released. The releasable information on Jaden is that his cause of death was determined to be “Toxic effects of fentanyl”, and manner is homicide.
Thank you,
