Elliott Smith's Suicide in Question?

From MTV.com news that Elliott Smith's family feels that Elliott's girlfriend doesn't speak for the family:

"The statement is in response to an interview Smith's girlfriend Jennifer Chiba gave to MTV News on Friday, a day after the Smoking Gun (www.thesmokinggun.com) posted the entire coroner's report online (see 'Elliott Smith's Girlfriend Insists No Involvement In Death'). The presence of cuts that appeared to be consistent with defensive wounds and the claim that Chiba had at one point 'refused to speak with detectives,' two occurrences that were not publicized until the report surfaced, may have presented Chiba in a new light to some. "
