Jason died because something or someone had smashed his head.

In his report to the Boulder County coroner, Dr. Peter Bullough, a professor of pathology at Cornell University Medical College in New York, concluded: "The bone tissue is within normal limits for the age of the patient. There is no evidence of osteogenesis imperfecta."

Alex and Molly maintained their silence, but in mid-March, Molly Midyette hired her own attorney.
On July 24, Coroner Thomas Faure officially ruled Jason Midyette's death a homicide.
