! The overall condition of the outside of the body is pretty decent with only a couple of minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises. The decadent has a 6cm scar on the lower right side of his abdomen, and a 8cm dragon tattoo on the center of his left calf.

! The left lung weighs 670 grams, and the right lung weighs 750 grams, both of which are higher than normal, with a high degree of swelling, and a presence of a red colored fluid in the tissue. The brain weighs 1,383 grams with significant Edema and swelling. Tissue samples were taken of the lungs and brain and came back showing that they had edema or accumulation of fluid. Bloodwork was also done and shows that the decedent has very low sodium with less than 110 mili equivalents per liter and the amount of this mineral was diluted in blood by excess fluid in the lungs and brain. There was no masses of bumps on the neck and the abdomen was flat and unremarkable, the heart, liver, kidneys, and digestive system were all fine. The bladder was significantly expanded and had 900 cc or almost a liter of urine in it. !

Not intoxicated

Bloodwork done and shows that the decedent has very low sodium with less than 110 mili equivalents per liter and the amount of this mineral was diluted in blood by excess fluid in the lungs and brain. There was an expansion of the bladder and it held 900cc of urine.

The lungs and brain have a high degree of swelling, and the lungs have a presence of a red colored fluid in the tissue. Tissue samples were taken of the lungs and brain and came back showing that they have edema or accumulation of fluid.

Since the autopsy shows that the decedent has of edema of the brain and lungs, low sodium levels, and evidence of massive water consumption, the cause of death is determined to be hyponatremia from of acute water intoxication. The cerebral edema, and the swelling in his brain caused his brain to shut down which made his entire body shut down. The death was also accidental.! ! !

The cause of death is Hyponatremia which is acute water intoxication, when there is very low sodium in the blood....
