Dr. G: Medical Examiner
Death on the Road
E1 Jul 15, 2005 60m TV-PG
A 48-year-old man is found in motel room hundreds of miles from home with his head blown off by a shotgun. Clues found in the room point to suicide, but an additional shotgun shell and blood inconsistent with the man’s wounds suggest foul play. It is up to Dr. G to piece together this puzzle. Dr. G and forensic technician Gene Conus give a tour of the morgue and explain how certain tools and procedures work. A 66-year-old man is killed in a car accident while driving to his daughter’s house. The man’s wife feels guilty since he was making the drive as a favor to her, but she suspects that his heart condition may have played a role in the crash. Dr. G works to find whether the man would have died from natural causes regardless of the injuries he received in the accident.
