 Manock did not visit the scene until three months after the drowning theory was proposed.Maciej Henneberg, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Adelaide, South Australia, has stated that it would be impossible to drown someone by holding his or her legs over his or her head, as the power of the extensor muscles in a woman’s leg would always be greater than the power which a man could exert through a fingertip grip of the woman’s calf as proposed by Manock.Cheney's body was released for cremation on the same day that her death was considered a murder.
