Veteran TV producer Jill Blackstone is under investigation stemming from the death of her sister, Wendy Blackstone, last weekend, according to police.

At first, Wendy appeared to have died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning from a gas grill, but police believe the death scene may have been staged.

Paramedics found Wendy Blackstone on the floor of the garage of the home where she and Jill lived. There was a grill in the garage, and ash in the grill.

Wendy Blackstone, who was deaf and partially blind, was holding a handwritten suicide note ... which the police strongly believe was written by Jill.

The grill's unusual placement at Wendy's feet contributed to the investigators' suspicion that it was a murder, and not suicide, that they had encountered.

Jill was arrested for murder, but released last night after D.A. sent the case back to the police for further investigation. So she's not out of the woods yet.

She told paramedics she also passed out, but regained consciousness enough to ask a friend for help. That friend called 911 out of concern for Jill.

The friend believed had suffered a stroke because her speech was slurred, and Jill had to be hospitalized for two days with carbon monoxide poisoning.

She was arrested after her release Monday, then cut loose Wednesday. Wendy's cause of death has yet to be released, pending toxicology results.

The 52-year-old Jill Blackstone has produced numerous television shows, including the Rosie O’Donnell Show and the Sally Jessy Raphael Show.

She also produced The Jerry Springer Show, according to IMDB.
