Columbo1971

Medical Examiner:
[talking to a reporter] Both doors were locked from the inside. Freight elevator, locked. The door to the stairs, locked. The safety bolt over there, it's hangin' from its chain, I mean, the guy obviously screwed up. I'm gonna give you this one as an accident and you can count on it. [Columbo picks up guillotine collar from the floor] Hey, that was off when I got here.

Lt. Columbo:
It was off when I got here, too.

Medical Examiner:
[to reporter] I mean, it could have been a suicide, but whoever heard of a suicide with a guillotine? I'm still gonna give you this one as an accident.

Lt. Columbo:
[handing collar to forensic tech] Have the lab check this out for blood. [to medical examiner with a shrug] You never know.
