Every death leaves evidence, but the evidence does not always tell the story investigators expect. Cause of Death examines real cases in which autopsies, toxicology, injury patterns, microscopic findings, and other forensic evidence helped determine whether a death resulted from natural causes, accident, suicide, or homicide. Each episode begins with the mystery surrounding the death before following the medical examiner’s investigation and revealing what the body ultimately showed and what it could not prove. From suspicious poisonings and unexplained injuries to staged scenes and deaths initially mistaken for natural causes, Cause of Death explores the medicine behind death investigation and the clues that can change an entire case.

What can forensic pathologists still learn from a body after years underground—and what evidence is lost forever? This episode examines how Smith’s injuries, the second autopsy, and the physical evidence complicated one of South Carolina’s most debated death investigations.
