I seem to remember hearing that when they found the car Mary Jo was found in the back seat (and Ted supposedly didn't know she was there), however, although I haven't seen the movie, the trailer seems to show that she is in the front passenger seat.
Does anyone else remember this?

Per the movie - and evidence... she was in the front seat, and did NOT die from drowning. The car flipped upside down - somehow Teddy got out, she was stuck, and evidently died of asphyxiation - the medical examiner retrieved only a tablespoon or so amount of water in her lungs and mouth. So - she lived for a while in an air pocket - and Ted could have gotten her out. Again - this was a complete cover-up of the truth at the time, and the doctors were either bought or intimidated. AND early on Ted was planning to state that SHE was driving the car - but his team finally said - NO!
And - NO autopsy was performed even though it was a MA state law. Yet again...only the rich and famous and politicians... grrrrrrrrrrr.
