The Death
Francesca was just about to go home when someone called for her, it was her secretary Jon “we’ve got a dead kid up here that you’ll want to look at right away, Might be foul play.” Thinking of your four-year-old daughter waiting for you at home, you grimace. “Ok, Jon, I’m heading to the morgue,” she said. “Performing autopsies on kids is the least favorite part of my job” she says to herself “but being a medical examiner is a tough job” she muttered. As Francesca approaches the morgue, she finds the report from the hospital. She reads the report, “At 10 am, the mother returns from the store to find the girl vomiting, not feeling well, and sleepy. The mother put the girl to bed, ten minutes later, she noticed that the child’s breathing became irregular and slow. She tried to wake her, no response, the child became comatose. At noon, the girl was admitted to the hospital, with no heartbeat or spontaneous breathing” Francesca was surprised by the report, and wanted to know why the girl wasn’t breathing correctly, she glanced over and saw a police report, it read “The parents discovered that the girl had been giving her dog a bath using a flea dip called Fleacide. According to the label on the container, Fleacide is an insecticide made of plant material only and appropriate for external use on animals only, kept out of the reach of children”. Francesca starts examining the body, as she examines the body she takes notes, “Age: 9, Birth year: 2012, Blood type: O, cause of death: unidentified chemical in lungs”. After examining the body internal damage has been discovered between the lungs, and pesticides have been injected into the blood through breathing or drinking. Francesca has concluded that the girl died from inhaling the pesticide, Francesca turned in her report and went home to her daughter.
