About this episode

This minisode discusses the suspicious death of 19-year-old Ed Cornes, highlighting the findings of his autopsy report and the surrounding circumstances.

19 year old Ed Cornes was dropped off by his parents on a Monday to start the University College in London. On Wednesday he was dead. A part that was supposed to be in the audio was inadvertently left out is this: Ed’s autopsy report came back that along with the mass amount of alcohol in his system, and the drugs, there were 36 cuts, bruises and 4 to 5 needle marks around his groin area. He also had blood in his stomach internally.
