Two ?undetermined? deaths ruled homicides

Detectives from the Baltimore County Police Department?s cold case squad have solved two homicides that were previously classified as “undetermined deaths” by Maryland?s medical examiner.

Police asked the Medical Examiner?s Office this week to review two asphyxiation deaths of women ? one in 1975 and another from 1982 ? and the doctors found they were homicides, not undetermined deaths, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey said Friday.
