Episode notes
Autopsy Ambiguity Vs. Public Claims
- The initial autopsy was ambiguous and never conclusively determined cause of death.
- Yet police briefings quickly asserted alcohol and smoke inhalation, creating a narrative mismatch with forensic uncertainty.
Politics Opened The Case Again
- The political change in 2015 reopened the case and forced fresh forensic review.
- New findings contradicted the original report and suggested deliberate suppression of evidence.
Carbon Monoxide Contradiction
- The government's analyst found no carbon monoxide in Wasim's lungs, contradicting claims he inhaled smoke while alive.
- That factual split implies he may have been killed before the car was set on fire.
