You know you've been watching CSI too much...

When you start musing, as you go to sleep, how they would investigate your own death.

"She was found dead, sitting in this chair." Brass said.

Sarah's camera flashed. The corpse's eyes were shut, the body corpulent, her long brown hair in braids. A book lay half-open in her lap.

"Who called it in?"

"Her biblestudy group -- they were meeting here once a week."

...

"She died of a heart attack."

"Natural causes, then? Someone that fat had to be a heart-attack risk."

"No sign of hardening of the arteries." The coroner gestured at her feet. "Look at this."

"Ouch, that looks like an in-grown toenail."

"That isn't all. I did some X-rays and it appears that she had plantar fasciitis."

"And that is?"

"A tightening of the plantar fasciia -- the tendon at the bottom of the foot. It rubs against the bone and makes it very painful to walk."

"That would explain the cane, then."

...

Meanwhile, back at the house...

"Hey, Warwick, check this out," said Sarah, pointing at the aparatus by the bed. "Is that an oxygen mask?"

Warwick traced the face mask, hose, water container, and a beige box with a few buttons on it. "If that's an oxygen mask, where's the oxygen?"


Heh, morbid much?

On CSI, it doesn't have to be about medicine. Sometimes the medical part is very simple, but it's the motive or something about the subcultural context that's obscure.

Or, even more likely, it was the worshipper of a BNF...

Yes! ROFL.
