that sucks bro
my story is similar except i found his corpse
i demanded the full pathologist run up, apparently ppl rarely request it
so decomposed in 90 degree heat for about 14 days. i looked up decomp rates and variables and went to the county coroner and contacted homocide w/ written statements from 3 different neighbors that all said they heard a loud altercation outside his house and he was a quiet dude that kept to himself.
brains exposed, thoracic cavity split down the center from decomp rupture, maggots had eaten most of his face, to the bone
ive had my hands in the guts of tons of anatomical cadavers but its hard to make an object out of a sight like that
i dont see how they ruled out blunt force trauma or strangulation so easily, neighbors claimed he got in a physical altercation w/ dude that he evicted from one of his house flips as a retired slum lord.
he had factor v and diabetes that he rarely took care of, neither were mentioned in the pathologists potential cod. they found traces of opiates in his follicle/bloodwork he was prescribed vicodin 20mg twice a day for severe peripheral neuropathy/multiple amputations, then 2 bouts of mrsa and finally osteomyelitis. grim way to check out
regardless, he opened carried his glock 22 and it was hidden in his kitchen pantry with his wallet and keys.
my gma has late stage alzheimers and stage 4 breast cancer. so 2x the inheritance/life insurance in under a year. go me.
