Recommendations - As of right now, no one should have charges pressed against them or any punishment. We don’t have enough information to prove anyone guilty or to even dismiss this case. Law enforcement and or forensic scientists should continue to investigate and collect more evidence

After all of our findings we can determine that the cause of death was a tramatic brain injury that was a result in the bat hitting the forehead causing blood to realease in the skull and the shaking of the skull resulting in a concussion. Death is undetermined because we need more information as to how the bat hit the head or more details/evidence involving this case.

After looking at Marcel’s brain and histology images we can determine that Marcel suffered from a traumatic brain injury also known as a concussion. When comparing the images to healthy brain images, they look nothing similar, but when comparing the images to TBI images, they are completely identical resulting in a concussion.

Marcel’s heart is determined to be completly healthy and normal. When comparing Marcel’s heart images to the images of a healthy heart, they are completly identicel resulting in a healthy heart.

Marcel had 65 mg/L of caffeine in his system and 20 mg/L of Acetaminoophen. When comparing these amounts to casualties resulting in death and other issues, these amounts are not very likely to have an effect on Marcel’s death.

The blood found at the scene is Marcel’s. When looking at the DNA profiles, Marcel’s DNA sequence and the DNA sequence of the bat blood and the floor blood match up with Marcel’s sequence and noth with the other persons’ of intrest.

# data[].attributes.body
The blood on the bat and on the floor are both type A blood so that would limit the person’s of interest to Marcel, Kay, and Jenn because those three all have type A blood as well. All of the other person’s of interest had other types of blood that don’t match with the blood found at the scene just like you can see in the picture.

The substances found on the bat and on the floor are both blood, but the stubstance found on the car door isn’t blood. We can see this in the results because the two blood stubstances both turned red while the unknown stubstance turned an orangeish color.

Marcel’s finger print match with the finger print on the bat. We can conclude that Marcel was swinging his bat a might have hit himself in the head with it.

# data[].attributes.body
The unknown hair at the scene is either Jenn’s or Marcel’s. Because they are siblings they would probably have the same hair texture and color as each other. With this being said, we can’t fully determine who’s hair was at the scene.

Throughout all of the digital evidence we can definitely see some overlapping between different pieces. We can see that Naomi was definitely worried and concerned when Marcel didn’t show up for work. We can also see that Cam was not happy with Aiden coming over and hanging out with Marcel. We also know that on Friday Marcel was practicing for baseball and that could play an important role in our findings. Lastly we know that Marcel was definitely dead on Saturday and Sunday because his phone was not spotted anywhere else but his house.

# data[].attributes.body
Jenn seems to be in the clear. The only abnormal spike we saw in her polygraph tests we in the question about if 10:15pm was the last time she saw Marcel. Cam’s respiration rate went up after saying no to killing Marcel and during the question about if 3:30pm Friday was the last time seeing Marcel. Kay’s respiration rate went down when asked about if she killed Marcel. Her heart rate spiked when asked about the last time she saw Marcel. Aiden had heart rates and respiration rates all over the place. Naomi had no abnormalities. From these findings we can conclude that Kay and Cam could play a role in Marcel’s death, but polygraph tests aren’t always the most reliable so we can’t base everything off of them.

The medical examiner arrived at the scene at 2:30 p.m., they noted fixed lividity on the front side of the body, no signs of rigor mortis, and green discoloration of the body. The medical examiner recorded the decedent’s rectal temp as 93°F and noted that the ambient temperature inside the garage was 93°F. We can’t use Marcel’s ambient temperature because he was in the garage and his body was at the same temperature as the garage. Based off of his postmortem changes, we can determine that Marcel died sometime between late Friday night and early Saturday morning.

The scene gives a lot of information and evidence as to how Marcel might have died. In the scene we can see Marcel on the ground with the blood coming out of his gash on his forehead and it dripping all over the ground. We can also see the Blue Bottle Flies in his nose. The bat in the picture can also give us some information as to how Marcel might have died. There are fingerprints and blood on the bat that could lead us to Marcel’s cause of death.
