CSI: NY2004

Dr. Sid Hammerback:
Cameron Marshall, age twenty-seven. Copious amounts of river water in his lungs and stomach confirms COD as drowning.

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes:
Okay. Oh, looks like vic number two's throat was crushed.

Dr. Sid Hammerback:
Mm-hmm. Brett Hollister, age twenty-five. Suffered blunt force laryngeal trauma resulting in complete cricotracheal separation.

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes:
Water in the lungs?

Dr. Sid Hammerback:
Uh, trace amounts. He stopped breathing before the truck sank. I imagine he floated up through the open hatch. Sadly, victim number three wasn't quite as fortunate.

Dr. Sid Hammerback:
Thank you. Uh... an elevated blood alcohol content caused vasodilation of her blood vessels, there exacerbating the onset of hypothermia.

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes:
She would have experienced numbness, debilitating drowsiness. She knew was drowning but was powerless to stop it.

Dr. Sid Hammerback:
Her last moments on Earth were spent in excruciating pain.
