Kenneka Jenkins' family on 'The Dr. Oz Show' again raises doubts about death
Kenneka Jenkins
Speculation again swirled about the death of Kenneka Jenkins  the young Chicago woman found in a Rosemont hotel freezer  during Tuesday’s episode of the “The Dr. Oz Show ” which featured her mother and sister as guests.
Yet the show’s host and Grace perpetuated rumors already rampant on social media  with various theories and claims that  Jenkins  met with foul play.  Her  mother’s attorneys have also said that gruesome photographs released by Rosemont police  taken of  Jenkins  after  she  was found  still in the freezer  “raise more questions than answers.”
On the “Dr. Oz” episode  Grace and Jenkins’ family said the photos — which show Jenkins’ shirt up  exposing  her  breasts  and  her  pants sitting low and one shoe off — make them suspicious. While Dr. Oz explained paradoxical undressing  a phenomenon in the end stages of fatal hypothermia where someone feels a rush of heat and in a dazed state begins to undress  he then stated “more than likely it’s not what happened  but it’s a possibility.”
Oz noted that Jenkins’ blood alcohol content of 0.112 percent — above the legal limit for driving of 0.08 — “does not do this to you ” referring to video footage of  Jenkins  stumbling throughout the hotel.
Oz said sometimes medication mixed with alcohol can add to drunkenness. He noted the prescription medication found in Jenkins’ body is also sometimes used for weight loss  but Martin said  her  daughter wasn’t trying to lose weight. Oz said he then wondered  “Is it one of those party drugs ” mentioning the “date-rape drug.”
The show also played a portion of the 911 call Martin made from the hotel  where she went when she learned  Jenkins  was missing. On it  the dispatcher explains that  Jenkins  could be with friends  and that  she  could turn up in a couple of hours.  He  asked if she wanted to file a missing persons report.
