Overview
A 53-year-old Vietnam veteran is taken to the hospital after shooting himself in the head. Eighteen days after surviving the suicide attempt, the man is found dead in the bed at the hospital. An external examination shows that the man had constricted pupils, which means that he could have died from a drug overdose. Dr. G must open the body to see if the man made another attempt to take his own life. Three days after going on a drinking binge, a 32-year-old mother is found dead in her apartment with a white frothy fluid foaming from her mouth. The woman had also recently suffered complications from gastric bypass surgery. Dr. G must find out what caused the young mother’s untimely death.
