her, you know? And then right when I

You’re gonna be okay, bud.

Detective.

PAUL LARKIN

How is she?

ER DOCTOR

Based on her MRI, the bullet grazed her

parietal lobes of her cerebrum.

DANNY MESSER

And so entered the soft tissue. Didn’t

hit any bones?

ER DOCTOR

That appears to be the case.

DANNY MESSER

All right. So that’s something you can

retrieve, right? I need the bullet as

soon as possible.

ER DOCTOR

Removing the bullet might be too risky.

But our neurosurgeon, Dr. Gavin Moore,

will know more about that possibility

when he has her in surgery. It’s

scheduled for first thing tomorrow

morning. But for now, Brandi’s

stabilized. So do you know if she’s

allergic to any medications?

PAUL LARKIN

God, I should know that. I, her mom

would know. She’s flying out of

Houston first thing tomorrow morning,

but I could call her now.

ER DOCTOR

That will be helpful.

ER DOCTOR

She’s sedated.

DANNY MESSER

I need to ask her a few questions. I

mean, her statement might be the only

chance we have of getting the guy who

did this to her.

I’m sorry, Detective. But we can’t

wake her now. But you’re welcome to

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Just moments before. I’m still waiting

for blood and tox. But there was a

significant amount of fluid in her

lungs.

STELLA BONASERA

She drowned in the martini glass?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

No, no. The fluid I found was

endogenous to her body.

STELLA BONASERA

C.O.D. was pulmonary edema.

CSI: NEW YORK - “Buzzkill” - Eps. #408 - Page 21

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Exactly, which is not consistent with

electrocution or drowning.

STELLA BONASERA

Right. Did she have a heart condition?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

No. This P.E. was non-cardiogenic.

STELLA BONASERA

Got some bruising here on the shoulder.

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Yeah, yeah, that’s, uh, very recent.

And, uh, when I ran a CT scan I

noticed, uh, more evidence of a

struggle. In pre-mortem, subdermal

bruising.

STELLA BONASERA

So the impact to the chest caused

pulmonary edema which led to her death.

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Definitely seems to be the cause. But

I’m waiting on histology to confirm

that. What really strikes me as odd is

not how she died, but where she died.

Slow-onset pulmonary edema causes acute

pain. Most people would have jumped

into an ambulance, not an oversized

The shooter must have gone out the back

It doesn’t look like murder was part of

STELLA BONASERA

Magic? Our heroin lollipops tested

Affirmative. When I reviewed the tox

could have caused the pulmonary edema.

decided to reexamine--

--chemical burn. I have to admit so

far I can’t explain it. And there’s

one more thing that I found curious.

Microscopic organisms. Diatoms.

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Which would be irrelevant if they

hailed from a fresh water source, but

these are marine diatoms. They were in
