Please tell me you have something.
I know what set this guy off.
That's more than what I got.
The guy had a ruptured spleen and I pegged that as probable cause of death. So, I crack his skull open and what do I find? A cantalope in a soup can.
[Raises an eyebrow] Tight fit.
And not from one or two blows to the head. He was also running a high fever, so I checked his spinal fluid. A normal human protein level is between 15 to 35 milligrams. Candelwell's was 60. Did anyone mention this guy had a headache?
The flight attendant gave him two asprin. Why?
He was suffering from undiagnosed encephalitis.
Swelling of the brain.
It can register like a heart attack. Slurred speech, loss of vision. You throw in the altitude and the air pressure changes in the cabin, and our poor guy was probably out of his mind.
Is that what killed him, encephalitis?
It wasn't the one thing. Ruptured spleen, intercranial bleeding, and the guy's heart just...stopped beating.
A, B, C, D or all of the above. Standoff with the police -- guy gets shot in the chest, runs back into his burning house inhaling smoke as he goes. The roof collapses, the air conditioning unit falls on his head, he dies. What killed him?
