A .22 caliber bullet was recovered from her chest. Police investigations. During the investigation, police took nine rifles and one pistol from licensed owners near Queenstown and tested them, but the bullet that killed Chan Chee Chan didn't come from any of them.

Lavinia Fontana (24 August 1552–11 August 1614) was an Italian Mannerist painter. She was active in Bologna and Rome. Today, people remember her mostly for the portraits that she painted. She also had other themes that she painted. She also did mythological and religious painting. Her father, Prospero Fontana trained her. Some people see her as the first career artist in Europe. This is because she relied on commissions for her income. In the context of art, this means that people asked her to create paintings with certain themes or styles, and paid for this.  Her family relied on her career as a painter, and her husband served as her agent and raised their eleven children. She was perhaps the first female artist to paint female nudes, but this is a topic of controversy among art historians. Her nude paintings. Fontana also pained nudes. Today, art historians do not agree on the ways and means she used for this. She had studied her father's collection of sculptures and plaster casts. The problem is that during Fontana's lifetime, it was socially unaceptable for women to be exposed to nudity. If it was discovered that Fontana used live nude models, this would harm her reputation. Liana De Girolami Cheney argues the figures look very natural. According to her, this might indicate that Fontana used live nude models. Caroline P. Murphy says that much like with her Fontana's father's paintings, the body parts are well-rendered, but overall, the figure re disproportionate. Murphy suggests that, like Sofonisba Anguissola, Fontana had family members model for her. Linda Nochlin writes that art academies barred women from viewing any nude body, despite this being a crucial part of an artist's training.
