It's gunshot.

Heart attack, like what caused the death that led to a series of information or a series of things that ended up happening.

For example, if someone is driving down the interstate or driving down the road, they have a heart attack and then they go off the side of the road and their car crashes and it blows up.

The cause of death is the heart attack.

The next thing the medical examiner must determine is the manner of death, Anushka.

And when you're talking about manner of death, there are five things.

There is accident.

There is suicide.

There is natural consequences.

There is, make sure I get this right, there is homicide.

Did I get that right?

Accident, natural, suicide.

I'm glad you brought that up because sometimes in these murder investigations, there turns to be a lot of confusion.

Oh, and undetermined, meaning they can't make a determination as to what has happened.

So when a medical examiner is figuring out, they must figure out, after they figure out the cause, then they must figure out the manner.

So if I can try to break this down a little bit to make it easier.

When you're dealing with a medical examiner or a coroner, there are two things that we have to determine.

All homicide means is the death was caused at the hands of another person.

We have to determine cause of death and manner of death.

That's all homicide means.
