synopsis
This program is part of the popular HBO series America Undercover: Autopsy. The show features Dr. Michael Baden, a forensic pathologist who works with the New York State Police. Dr. Baden has performed many autopsies of high profile cases, from John Belushi to Billy Martin, Tsar Nicholas to Medgar Evers. Dr. Baden presents some case studies which illustrate how the bodies of deceased people can tell the trained investigator the stories of their demise. This episode features the story of one man and two dead lady friends, a patient whose pain medicine contained deadly cyanide, and a not-so-wholesome boy scout leader and his mutilated victim.
