Helps narrow down who's blood was found at the scene and create assumptions to how it got where it had. The positive control was only the blood spatter. The negative control was on the baseball bat and the car door.

Marcel Newgard was a 23-year-old male who died due to natural causes, an abscessed tooth which eventually led to a heart attack. The evidence presented does show that there is a chance of murder, but further testing removed that theory. The abscessed tooth Marcel had was not treated fast enough before it started causing problems. Which eventually led to his death.

Recommendation for Law Enforcement -

We recommend that no one be taken into custody and the case should be closed because Marcel's death was caused by a heart attack, a natural cause, which means no one else was involved in his death.

The test shows an excess amount of caffeine in Marcel's system along with acetaminophen, which is known to reduce pain.

The email from Marcel's dentist stated that he was taking acetaminophen for his abscessed tooth, which helps us understand why it is in his system. He most likely had caffeine in his system because he had a cup or two of coffee.

The fingerprint on the baseball bat looks exactly like Marcel's. They are both a right loop and no one else has a right loops. Some of the prints are little messed up and broken with cracks. The closest fingerprint to Marcel's is Kay Litrell's. Naomi Lee's and Cam Banks's prints look like whorls, Aiden Santori looks like he has a double loop and it's hard to tell what fingerprint type Jenn Newgard has but it doesn't match the print on the baseball bat. Marcel's fingerprints are on the bat and no one else had touched it.

This heart in comparison to Marcel's is much lighter in color.

The blood spatter found at the scene could be Marcel Newgard's, Kay Litrell's, or Jenn Newgard's blood, because I is type a blood. So Aiden Santori, Cam Banks, and Naomi Lee can be ruled out.

Marcel Newgard died due to natural causes. He had a heart attack that was caused by an abscessed tooth. The tooth caused a high level of inflammation in the blood vessels which eventually led to a heart attack.

# data[].attributes.body
There was hair found on the scene was tested and it was revealed to belong to Jenn Newgard. Jenn is Marcel's sister and since they are related, their hair samples are very similar. Taking a closer look at the hair sample, it more closely looks to belong to Jenn. She had borrowed his car previously, so her hair is most likely to be present on the scene.

These pictures show that Marcel had no damage caused to his brain. This means there was most likely no extreme blunt force to the head, again ruling out a murder.

The email from Anytown Dentistry talks about Marcel's abscessed tooth. An abscessed tooth can cause problems with blood vessels in the heart, which can lead to a heart attack. A sign someone has had a heart attack is a heart with a dark discoloration.

# data[].attributes.body
The medical examiner noticed fixed lividity on the front side of his body and no signs of rigor mortis, along with a green discoloration of his skin.

Fixed lividity does not occur until 8-10 hours after death, but there were no signs of rigor mortis which happens at around 36 hours after death. The green discoloration of the body occurs around 24-48 hours after death. The larva found in Marcel's wound is also known as a blue bottle fly and they don't typically grow to that size until at least 24 hours after being laid.

This means that Marcel's estimated time of death is around 36 hours from the time he was found.
