Hmmm.
Adult sudden death syndrome?
Bullet to the back of the skull.
Is that a cause, if not in this case then in others?
Falling down a flight of stairs, while handcuffed and shackled?
That would likely cause it, too.
Turns out ASDS is not an usual idea. But it usually manifests in young people and is linked to a previously undiagnosed cardiac condition.
Then again, ASDS could be a clever way of describing an old truism: it's not the flying through the air that kills someone falling off a building.
It's the sudden stop at the end.
