“We have heard that pills are scattered and pills are scattered and the pills absorbed are completely different,” said the former forensic investigator of the forensic death, Joseph Scott Morgan, in an interview with Fox News.

Morgan said he was also interested in learning more about the room heating that was found next to a test for the Carboxyhemoglobin values ​​near Arakawa's body.

“Not only on Mr. Hackman and his wife, but also, as I can imagine that someone who is involved in veterinary medicine will also take care of this dog to see whether in her system contains carbon monoxide in your system, regardless of what the fire brigade was there and what was not there,” said Morgan.

“In this case you have to be very thorough, very tedious. You will carry out X -ray shots with full body, you will carry out exhaustive external studies before you will ever carry out a complete autopsy.”
