They are not sure whether her death was murder or accidental, but are said to be leaning towards it being a tragic accident."

Does this mean they now suspect the parents of being involved, or am I reading it wrong?
That insinuation has been doing the rounds for some weeks now (that the parents may have killed her accidentally and then covered it up). I said at the time it first surfaced in this thread, and I'll say it again now: I just can't see how that stacks up. I can't see a believable motive and I can't believe they have either the capability within themselves, or the resources necessary to cover up such a thing while on holiday in a foreign country.

If Madeleine died in the apartment, then I think it would have been the result of a bungled robbery or kidnapping.
