On Lawrence O'Donnell's show on the July 22, 2015 guests, Sandra Bland's sister and family lawyer clearly stated that there has been a mistake made by the coroner. The family lawyer mentioned the texts on MSNBC:

This was further discussed on DemocracyNow:

As for her family, the videos above also discuss it but I will reiterate. They did do their own autopsy of the body before she was embalmed and buried.
