Our Last Family Dinner
The examiner walked over, looked at my family in their grief, and spoke with a heavy voice. "The deceased, Tommy Lawson, has been confirmed dead from a high-altitude fall. The time of death is preliminarily estimated to be around 10:00 pm tonight."
He paused, his gaze passing over my body before he continued, "However, the deceased shows extensive injuries, both old and new, covering the limbs and torso. There are clear signs of physical abuse, as well as evidence of restraint and degradation. None of these injuries are consistent with the fall."
