Asked by Asst. Atty. Gen. William Ferland why she thinks 100 people perished in the fire and about 300 people were able to get out alive, the medical examiner said "factors of human behavior" played a role.

"If you look back at some of ... the big sort of historic fires, the Coconut grove fire, people are having dinner in one room and they saw another room burning ... Some people may say, 'oh, gee, it's a fire. I'm getting out.' Other people say, 'well, maybe someone else will put it out. I'm going to listen to the band or finish my dessert."

At the conclusion of her testimony, one of the grand jurors asked Laposata if her office was able to determine where each body was found inside the nightclub.

Laposata said investigators did have general ideas and "I can tell you who was found in the doorway areas, in the front areas and in the hallway there were about 30 there. Then there were about 10 more found in the main stage area and the rest were in the other areas of the -- of the club."

The grand juror then asked: "Were the 20 that showed evidence of cyanide in their lungs, were they pinpointed or do you have any idea of where they were?"

"They roughly correlated with being in the stage and like dance floor area. They were not the ones in the front door area," the medical examiner said.
