Autopsy: Cause of Death Unascertained

Day 4 · 0:30:33 · Glen Motz · Dan Hartman

• 🔬 After a three-month wait the autopsy listed cause of death as unascertained despite full DNA and toxicology.
• 📉 Unascertained findings are said to be rare (~2%), yet Motz notes “cause unknown” surged as a leading category in Alberta during COVID.
• ❤️ Dr. McCullough later reviewed the file and concluded myocarditis; Toronto had called mild heart swelling normal for athletes.

Official indeterminacy clashes with independent cardiac interpretation.

They said cause of death unascertained. They couldn't tell me why he died. They didn't know why he died. There was no— a full DNA testing was done, uh, Toxicology was done. They found nothing. And cause of death unascertained is extremely rare in this world. It's only 2% of autopsies, right?

But I just actually have to stop you because in the province I live, Alberta, I think it's only about 6, 7 years ago that they added, you know, cause unknown as a— before we didn't have that. And for several years into the COVID period, It was the leading cause of death for several years in the province I live in was, you know, cause unknown. So, so they decided to do a change for COVID and have this basically excuse not to tell us why people were dying because it's a new thing. Yeah. So, okay. So cause unknown. David, can we pull up— you'd send us some photos and I've had two of them.
