Post 12 Final Report

The report shows that he had some good tissue with good blood supply, but also it shows that the tissue has scarring. (myocardial infarction)
Talc was present in the lungs, and is usually mixed with drugs.
Coronary Artery- blockage.
Brain tissue- hemorrhage (stroke)

We believe that the 60 year old, Caucasian, died because:

While he was at the party, he could of been drinking coffee. Which, in the autopsy report, showed that he had tons of caffeine in his system. That, can speed up the heart rate. He already had high blood pressure. Cocaine was also in his system, It speeds up heart rate and blood pressure as well as constricting blood vessels. It seemed to be a first time use, and the first time is the most rapid which can cause damage to the cardiac and respiratory systems. The guests at the party said he went into cardiac arrest. I believe the reason for his death is because of his heart had been through too much, due to the drugs, alcohol, and caffeine and gave out.

your report sounds really good. We thought he died of cocaine too, but yours make so much more sense when it comes to the caffiene part and what you said about his heart rate speeding up.
