Dr. G: Medical Examiner - Season 2 - Eps 3: A Shot in the Dark
While at the apartment of a longtime friend, a 24-year-old man is shot in the head. The friend claims they were examining his gun collection when a gun was knocked off the ironing board and went off when it hit the floor. Everyone in the apartment was intoxicated at the time of the shooting. It is up to Dr. G to determine whether this was in an honest mishap or an intentional shooting. Dr. G shares professional insights about the causes of car accident fatalities including speeding, improper use of seatbelts, and intoxication. A 32-year-old man suffers a heart attack at the hospital and dies a week later. The hospital finds traces of amphetamine (also known as speed) in the man’s urine and concludes that the man’s heart attack was due to amphetamine abuse. The man’s mother claims that he would never use illegal drugs. Dr. G must find out whether drug abuse actually played a role in the man’s death.
