Enquiry Record
|
Judicial Case no. PXC978C675 (Cymbalisty, Isaac) Herewith are the summary findings of Public Enquiry PXC978C675/W, incorporating Public Inquest PXC978C675/W/I. Judge Erik Hornblair presiding. 1. In his findings, Judge Hornblair concluded that in the case of Isaac Cymbalisty, of Apartment C, Mimasan Block, Guardian Lane, Perplex City, there was no evidence of criminal death. 2. Judge Hornblair was sufficiently swayed by the balance of evidence that Mr Cymbalisty took his own life, knowingly consuming an overdose of black-market Ceretin. This produced a synaptic overload which led to a rapid loss of consciousness and, thereafter, a complete cessation of cerebral activity. 3. The scene of crime evidence showed no indication whatsoever that anyone else had been present, either at the time of death or within the previous few days. Fingerprint, footprint and genetic investigations all confirmed this conclusion. 4. All analyses of Mr Cymbalisty's key found evidence consistent with the estimated time of death, and their was no indication of forgery regarding his suicide note. 5. At the inquest, all anatomical evidence pointed towards Ceretin overdose as the cause of death. There was no sign of physical contact or coercion. The toxicology report also supported the enquiry's conclusion, finding large quantities of Ceretin or Ceretin derivative in Mr Cymbalisty's system. 6. In interviews with Mr Cymbalisty's neighbours and colleagues, the investigation found no substantive facts to contradict the enquiry's conclusion. The reason for Mr Cymbalisty's suicide remains subject to conjecture. However, it was the enquiry's decision that Mr Cymbalisty's state of mind was not material evidence and therefore had no bearing on the case. There were no suspects. 7. In the absence of evidence indicating criminal death, Judge Hornblair declared the investigation closed. 8. The body has been released. Released: 02/03/269 |
