The Show...

This year's coroner's post-mortem investigates the death of Mr Anton Orlov. On the mortuary table lies the body of a 62-year-old male who began to display symptoms of respiratory difficulty and seizures in a cafe in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire. He was pronounced dead by paramedics at 1437 on 31st March 2022. The cause of death at the moment is unknown and thought to be suspicious. 

We have been advised that a possible chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack may have been carried out which is classified as an act of terrorism by British Police. At this year's show, we'll be deploying full CBRN protocols as we examine the body of Mr Orlov combining forensics, toxicology and pathology to shine a light on Mr Orlov's pinnacle cause of death.
