Heading: The Medical Examiner's Report

Text: 24 Later that day, a Medical Examiner conducted a postmortem examination and autopsy of Mr. Rivas's corpse. He noted in his report that Mr. Rivas's two upper front teeth were partially dislodged. The report also noted a number of superficial contusions and abrasions, but the Medical Examiner did not find any evidence of trauma or injury that would have contributed to Mr. Rivas's death. After a toxicology report came back negative, the Medical Examiner concluded that Mr. Rivas had died from a Cardio-Respiratory Arrest Following Acute Psychotic Episode of Undetermined Etiology, i.e., Mr. Rivas's heart and lungs stopped functioning following a period of intense physical activity, with the cause of the psychotic episode being unknown. The manner of death was listed as Natural.
