UPDATE: Huguely told police he saw blood coming from Yeardley Love’s nose

Warrants and affidavits released after medical examiner rules cause of death as blunt force trauma to head

Yesterday, the office of the Virginia Medical Examiner revealed the cause of death of Yeardley Love as blunt force trauma to the head. This afternoon, warrants released in the investigation of George Huguely, charged with first-degree murder in Love’s death, offered further details of an altercation between the two that Huguely reportedly described to Charlottesville police after waiving his Miranda rights.

Two witnesses, whose names were redacted from a search warrant affidavit, told law enforcement that "when they first found Yeardley Love, she was wearing only panties and no other clothing." The same affidavit mentions that Huguely "waived his rights under Miranda" and gave a statement at the Charlottesville Police Department. According to the affidavit, "Huguely stated that at one point during the altercation he saw blood coming from Yeardley Love’s nose."
