Danette Colbert, 48, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of TV sports reporter Adan Manzano, who was found dead in a Kenner hotel room. Colbert was seen with Manzano hours before his demise, which coincided with Super Bowl week. Preliminary autopsy findings cite a mix of unprescribed benzodiazepine and alcohol as contributing factors, leading to positional asphyxia. Police have arrested an alleged male accomplice, further complicating the investigation, as both Colbert and the accomplice have criminal histories. The investigation remains ongoing with undetermined death status potentially changing.
Given the uncertain circumstances of this case, we feel that the most appropriate manner of death is undetermined. However, this will not impact the prosecution.
