Prison death from natural causes, says pathologist

Story Picture
A post mortem examination has suggested that the death of an inmate at Hattieville Prison was the result of natural causes and not foul play. According to police pathologist Doctor Mario Estradabran, his autopsy conducted this afternoon on the body of nineteen year old Mike Fabro, revealed that the young prisoner died of suffocation brought on by an epileptic fit. Further exploration revealed that the likely cause of the epilepsy was a two-inch wide cyst, which Estradabran discovered on Fabro’s brain. That growth, said the doctor, was creating high levels of pressure inside the skull and may have been responsible for a number of emotional problems the decreased had experienced prior to his death. Fabro was found dead in his cell at Hattieville around six thirty Wednesday morning.
