"Unraveling the Mystery of Frozen Fentanyl Deaths Among Kansas City Chiefs Fans"

Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden suggests that the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans may have been caused by a combination of fentanyl and cocaine, leading to hypothermia after they passed out in the snow. Baden explains that fentanyl, a powerful painkiller, can make a person sleepy, and the cold weather could have rapidly dropped their body temperatures, leading to cardiac arrest. The possibility of unknowingly consuming fentanyl is also raised, as the drug can be mixed with other substances. The case is being investigated, and questions have been raised about the involvement of the friend whose home the men were found outside.

"Kansas City Chiefs Fans' Mysterious Deaths: Toxicology Report Reveals Startling Findings"

Preliminary toxicology results have been released for the three Kansas City men who were found dead in the snow two days after a game day gathering. The report will determine if any substances, including alcohol and drugs, were found in the men’s systems at the time of their deaths. The investigation remains ongoing, and the presence of drugs in the men's systems doesn't necessarily indicate that they caused their deaths, according to a forensic pathologist.

"Unveiling the Truth: The Mysterious Death of Stephen Smith in Murdaugh Country"

Forensic pathologist Michelle DuPre claims that South Carolina teenager Stephen Smith, who had ties to the Murdaugh family, died from a "single blow to the forehead" and not from a hit-and-run as previously believed. DuPre speculates that Smith was killed in the roadway due to the location and size of the fracture in his skull. She dismisses rumors that Smith was beaten with a baseball bat and denies that his body was dumped at the scene. Smith's case was reclassified as a homicide in 2021 after new evidence emerged during the investigation into the shooting deaths of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Smith's mother has long sought a second opinion on her son's death.

Matthew Perry's Death Investigation: Toxicology Report and Final Hours Revealed

The toxicology report for Matthew Perry, the beloved "Friends" star who died nearly two weeks ago, may already be completed, according to Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner of New York City. While toxicology tests typically take time, leaked information from law enforcement suggests that a full report may already be finished. Initial tests indicated no presence of fentanyl or meth in Perry's system at the time of his death, and no foul play is suspected. The release of toxicology results could be pending for various reasons, including the need to determine if any illegal drugs were involved. The investigation into Perry's death has been transferred to the LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division, which is not uncommon for high-profile cases.

"Forensic evidence suggests Becky Bliefnick was alive for minutes after sustaining 14 gunshot wounds, as 'Family Feud' contestant stands trial for her murder"

Forensic pathologist Dr. Scott Denton testified that Becky Bliefnick was shot 14 times but was still alive for several minutes as she bled to death. Tim Bliefnick is accused of shooting Becky Bliefnick multiple times at her home and was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of home invasion. None of the wounds were immediately fatal, and Becky would have been alive with these gunshot wounds for at least several minutes.

The Tragic Deaths of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan: Updates from Lori Vallow Daybell's Trial.

Forensic pathologist Dr. Garth Warren testified in the Lori Vallow trial that seven-year-old JJ Vallow died from "asphyxia by plastic bag over the head and duct tape over the mouth." JJ also had low levels of alcohol, caffeine, and theobromine in his system, but it is unclear if he had consumed or was given the drug GHB. Warren also testified that Tylee's cause of death was a homicide, but the exact means of how she died could not be pinpointed.
