Warm Oatmeal, Cold Juice: How a Hospice Volunteer Hid Poisoning

概要
The first clue was ordinary: a half-eaten bowl of warm oatmeal and a cold glass of orange juice on a basement egress window at four Crestline Avenue, yet by 11:17 that morning Roger Ford was pronounced dead and his death recorded as cardiorespiratory failure secondary to autonomic neuropathy. Eighteen days later a physician-ordered alkaloid toxicology on retained tissue returned one word that changed the case: aconitine - so who put it there, and how did five other patients die before anyone connected the dots?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events from the morning Sherry Coleman found Ford's unfinished breakfast to the postmortem toxicology that revealed aconitine, tracing patient notes, hospice assignments, and clinical concerns that raised alarms. What made this toxin invisible to routine screens, and why did no organization notice a pattern across multiple hospice programs?
