Hawaii Five-0, Season 5

[Max talks to Steve, Grover, and Chin Ho via videoconference about the supposed fate of four students at the Waimea Reform School]

Max:
Commander, after a thorough examination, I've determined that each of our young victims were suffering from acute dehydration and starvation in the days leading up to and at the time of their deaths.

Chin Ho Kelly:
Take a look at this. [taps screen for news clipping] The week they disappeared was one of the hottest on record for Oahu. Daytime temps hovered in the mid-90s for five straight days.

Max:
And this is the basement that the school used as solitary confinement. The same one that Tahni saw the boys being led into the night they returned.

Lou Grover:
No windows, no ventilation. Must have been unbearable down there.

Max:
In that kind of heat, left in a poorly ventilated space, without food or water for a significant amount of time would be equivalent to leaving an infant in a car with a rolled-up window in the middle of the summer. As a result of all these findings, I'm listing the official cause of death as homicide.
