As Chief Medical Officer, you investigate suspicious deaths and provide toxicology services for the county. Unfortunately, it's been a busy week. In the past five days, seven people have died, all with similar symptoms. It is your job to examine the data and determine the cause of death for these victims. The first was a 12-year-old girl.
