Speaker 1: exclusively for Grossroom members. If it's dark, disturbing, medically bizarre,

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,920

Speaker 1: Laking Snelling has now been indicted on first degree manslaughter

14
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: after medical findings showed her newborn was born alive and

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: died from asphyxia by undetermined means. Authorities previously found the

16
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: infant wrapped in a towel inside of a trash bag

17
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: in Snelling's closet, and prosecutors says she admitted giving birth alone,

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: falling asleep on the baby and later disposing of the body.

19
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: She still also faces charges for abuse of a corpse,

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,400

22
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: for at an autopsy in cases like this, read our

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: high profile death dis section posts on Lake and Snelling

25
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: Monique Tempe were killed has been listed for sale. The

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: North fourth Street property reportedly hit the market for seven

27
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. With the criminal case

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: against their accused killers still moving through the courts, the

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: listing has stirred debate over a notorious crime properties returning

30
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: to the market. The New York City Medical examiner, who

31
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: oversaw Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy, said she did not immediately rule

32
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: his death of suicide because the case was so high

33
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: profile she wanted to be extremely cautious before finalizing the

34
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: manner of death. She has said the autopsy findings looked

35
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: like a straightforward hanging, but she initially marked the case

36
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: as pending while waiting to verify details and gather additional information.

37
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: She ultimately stood by the suicide ruling don't forget we

38
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: have a high profile death dissection on Jeffrey Epstein in

39
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: the gross Room. Florida parents are accused of falsely claiming

40
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: their fifteen year old son had cancer in order to

41
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: collect donations through fundraisers and online campaigns. Investigators say medical

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: records showed the boy had never been diagnosed with cancer,

43
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: and authorities alleged the money was instead spent on personal

44
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: expenses like fuel, restaurants, and retail purchases. The couple now

45
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: faces fraud and child the gleck charges, and the teen

46
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,640

49
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: from strangling his mom. Authorities say the father was intoxicated

50
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: and allegedly lunched at his son with a bicycle. After

51
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: the teen intervened, The boy then punched him multiple times,

52
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: leaving him unconscious until deputies arrived. A twenty four year

53
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,360

Speaker 1: Woman Center at Brookwood Hospital in Alabama, shortly after giving birth.

55
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Police say he then turned the gun on himself in

56
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: an apparent murder suicide. The case has devastated the family

57
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: and reignited concerns about hospital security and situations involving domestic violence.

58
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: An Iowa woman is accused of lacing a pan of

59
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: lasagna with oxycodone in an attempt to cause a pregnant

60
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: woman to miscarry. Investigators say the victim and her unborn

61
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: child survived, and testing later confirmed the lasagna did indeed

62
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: contain the drug. Police also say messages suggested that she

63
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,880

Speaker 1: wife and her parents before shooting himself. Authorities say their

67
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: three young children were inside the home during the attack,

68
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: but were physically unharmed. Police say he first shot the

69
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: parents inside the house, then chased his wife outside and

70
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: killed her. Unfortunately, those familiar with the victims are not surprised.

71
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: He had a documented history of domestic violence before the murders.

72
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,760

Speaker 1: hit her with a phone, pulled out part of her hair,

75
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,719

76
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: say that police had been called to the home multiple

77
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: times before she had obtained restraining order, and she had

78
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: previously filed for divorce. Those earlier warning signs are now

79
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: looking like part of the same escalating pattern that ended

80
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: with him killing his wife, her parents, and then himself,

81
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: leaving his own children with no caretakers. A forty one

82
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,080

Speaker 1: he intentionally caused a twenty twenty two house explosion while

84
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: his partner and three children were inside. Luckily, they were

85
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: able to escape and survived. Prosecutors say he disconnected a

86
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: gas line to the dryer, allowing gas to build up

87
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: and ignite. The case intensified after his former partner later

88
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: found notes allegedly written by the man saying quote, ps

89
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: I did blow up the house and if I can't

Speaker 1: Sources say ROTC students then subdued and fatally stabbed the gunmen,

94
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: likely preventing further bloodshed. The FBI is investigating the attack

95
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: as terrorism. After a hazing incident gone wrong. An autopsy

96
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: found that a Northern Arizona University freshman died of alcohol

97
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: poisoning with a blood alcohol level of zero point four

98
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: two five percent, which is more than five times the

99
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: legal driving limit. Investigators said he had been forced to

100
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,919

Speaker 1: witnesses reportedly heard him making abnormal snoring and gagging sounds

102
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,000

Speaker 1: fifteen years old are being held without bond after prosecutors

107
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,719

116
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: younger child's cause of death is still under investigation, but

117
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: the case is being treated as a homicide. The suspect

118
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,360

00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: The girl was treated at the scene and released to

126
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: her family. A one month old child died and the

134
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: and eviscerating the corpse, and then, to top it off,

135
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: she cooked the body parts all at the family's home.

136
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: In pop culture and celebrity news, the death of ninety

137
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: day fiancee alum Laida Margaretha's five year old daughter has

138
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: been ruled non accidental by officials. According to recent reporting,

139
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: the baby died last July, and the rolling means investigators

140
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: believed that the infant injuries were not consistent with an accident.

141
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: Margaretha's attorney said that she denies any wrongdoing from a

142
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: forensic standpoint, and non accidental death rolling in an infant

143
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: case immediately raises concern for inflicted trauma and shifts the

144
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: case to a much more serious child abuse investigation. Danica

145
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: mckeller says that after giving birth to her son Draco

146
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: in twenty ten, herdula asked whether she wanted to taste

147
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: her placenta, and in the immediate postpartum hayes, she said yes.

148
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: McKellar later joked that she was embarrassed about how much

149
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: she liked it, comparing the taste to a Filet Mignon.

150
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Kylie Jenner is drawing attention for her new Vanity Fair

151

Speaker 1: cover shoot where she appears to be smoking a cigarette

152
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: in an attempt to look sexy and cool. This, of course,

153
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: is causing controversy online because of the influence she has

154
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: on younger people. Cigarette ads have long faced major restrictions

155
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: in the United States, including a federal ban on cigarette

156
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: advertising on television and radio under the Federal Cigarette Labeling

157
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: an Advertising Act, Yet cigarette imaging stil routinely appears in

158
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: fashion and celebrity culture. The City says that cigarette smoking

159
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: and secondhand smoke exposure causes more than four hundred and

160
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: eighty thousand deaths each year in the United States, making

161
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: smoking the nation's leading preventable cause of death. In medicine

162
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: and health news, Google is facing a wrongful death lawsuit

163
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: after the family of a thirty six year old alleged

164
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: that its Gemini chatbot deepened his illusions, encouraged dangerous behavior,

165
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: and ultimately urged him towards suicide. Reporting said he formed

166
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: an emotional attachment to the chatbot, referring to hit as

167
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: his wife, and it encouraged him to end his earthly

168
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: life and start a digital one. The suit accused us

169
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: is Google of negligence, product liability and failing to build

170
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: adequate scafeguards for vulnerable users. Google has said Gemini is

171
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: not designed to encourage harm and that difficult conversations are

172
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: supposed to trigger crisis resources. A new wave of reporting

173
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: is revisiting the still shocking problem of surgically retained items,

174
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: which are objects accidentally left inside of patients after surgeries.

175
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,359
Speaker 1: Examples include sponges, needles, drill bits, wires, scalpels, and large retractors.

176
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: A UCLA study cited in recent coverage estimated fifteen hundred

177
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: retained item events a year in impatient surgery alone, and

178
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty four joint commission review linked dozens of

179
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: cases to serious injury and at least sixteen deaths. A

180
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: forty two year old man in England was hospitalized after

181
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: waking up blue from head to toe, prompting fears of

182
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: a serious medical emergency. Doctors eventually discovered the color came

183
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: from a navy blue dye bleeding out of a brand

184
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: new sheet set he had slept on naked for two

185
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: nights without washing it. First. Staff initially put him on

186
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: oxygen before realizing that the blue color came off with

187
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: alcohol swabs. Scientists looked at whether the length of the

188
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: index figure compared to the ring finger is linked to

189
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: sexual orientation. In a new study, they found a small

190
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: average pattern in very large groups. Lesbian women tended to

191
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: have slightly more male typical finger ratios, and gay men

192
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: tended to have slightly more female typical finger ratios compared

193
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: with heterosexual people of the same sex. The researchers think

194
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: this might reflect hormone exposure. In Utero, a mother of

195
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: three who was diagnosed with stage four metastatic colorectal cancer

196
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: to the liver at thirty nine years old, says she

197
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: now has no evidence of disease after receiving a partial

198
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: liver transplant from a living donor at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago.

199
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: Her case is drilling attention because liver transplant is not

200
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: standard for most metastatical rectal cancer patients, but in select

201
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: cases it can be life saving when disease is confined

202
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: to the liver. A customer who posted a photo of

203
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: a worm like parasite in McDonald's filet of fish sparked

204
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: outrage online, but seafood experts say the finding was more

205
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: gross than unusual. The likely culprit was a nematode, a

206
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: common parasite in wild caught fish like pollock. Experts noted

207
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: that proper freezing and high heat frying kills these organisms,

208
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: so the bigger issue is the thought that you're eating

209
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: a parasitic worm, not a food borne danger. Gynecologists are

210
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: warning against a TikTok trend promoting coconut oil as a

211
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: vaginal lubricant. Doctors say coconut oil can disrupt the vaginal microbiome,

212
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: irritate tissue, and critically weakened late text condoms within minutes,

213
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: increasing the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Experts

214
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: say silicon based lubricants or medically tested vaginal moisturizers are

215
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: far safer options. A fitness content creator and endurance runner

216
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: went viral after filming himself doing a full five K

217
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: workout inside of an airplane bathroom during an eleven hour flight.

218
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: He tracked a session and spent close to an hour

219
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: stepping on and around the closed toilet to keep up

220
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: his training. The stunt drew a mix of admiration, ridicule,

221
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: and anger from people pointing out that monopolizing the laboratory

222
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: on a long haul flight is wildly inconsiderate. Recent investigations

223
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: are putting cosmetic surgery chains under scrutiny for allegations of

224
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: disfiguring injuries, serious complications, and patient deaths. The coverage points

225
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: to malpractice suits, complaints about inadequate oversight, and renewed call

226
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: for transparency when doctors are under investigation. Plastic surgeons groups

227
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: are now publicly urging patients to quote do their homework

228
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: before procedures like liposuction, Brazilian butt lifts, and mommy makeovers.

229
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: US health officials say this season's flu vaccines were among

230
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: the least effective in over a decade, reducing the risk

231
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: of medically attended flu illness by only twenty five to

232
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: thirty percent in adults and roughly forty percent in children.

233
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: The main reason appears to be a mismatch between the

234
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: vaccine and the newly dominant H three and two influenza strain.

235
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: Even so, CDC officials are still recommending vaccination because they

236
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: say it continues to reduce severe illness and hospitalization risk

237
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: in freak accidents and unexpected deaths. A backstage has Met

238
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: incident at Disneyland sent several employees to the hospital after

239
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: workers reported dizziness and shortness of breath near the Star

240
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: Tours area. Disney Land later said building materials being used

241
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: by a contractor caused a reaction backstage, prompting a response

242
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: from Friar and has Matt Cruz. Some staff were treated

243
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: on site and released, while others were hospitalized out of caution.

244
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: New bodycam footage shows first responders in Massachusetts rescuing a

245
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: man who became trapped under a car when the jack

246
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: holding it up suddenly failed. Police say the man had

247
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: been underneath of the vehicle in an auto parts store

248
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: parking lot when it fell onto his chest, leaving him unresponsive.

249
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: Officers and bystanders say another jack was used to lift

250
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: the car, and once it was off of him, he

251
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: started breathing again. He survived with serious but non life

252
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: threatening injuries. Police in Changwan, South Korea, are investigating after

253
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: a three year old child had part of an index

254
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: finger severed during a visit to an outdoor rabbit cage

255
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: at a daycare center. The child was rushed to the hospital,

256
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: but doctors could not reattached the fingertip because the severed

257
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: portion could not be found. Investigators are now looking at

258
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: whether the injury came from the cage itself, a bite,

259
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: or another hazard, and daycare staffed are being investigated for

260
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: possible occupational negligence. A widely shared report has resurfaced in

261
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the case of a twenty five year old Ukrainian student

262
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: who died in two thousand and nine after a free

263
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: chemistry accident. According to the account, he had a habit

264
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: of dipping chewing gum into citric acid while working around chemicals,

265
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: and one day the gum was apparently contaminated with an

266
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: explosive compound, triggering a blast that tore away much of

267
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: his space. The story is often retold as a cautionary

268
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: tale about unsafe handling of laboratory chemicals in informal settings,

269
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: and our last story. In other death news, an old

270
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: yet bizarre Pennsylvania case where a ninety one year old

271
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: woman named Jeans Stevens kept the corpses of her husband

272
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: and twin sister in an around her home is back

273
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: in the headlines this week. The case is being revisited

274
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: in the season two finale of Investigation Discoveries, the curious

275
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: case of authorities confirmed in twenty ten that Stevens had

276
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: exhumed her husband James years after his burial, and also

277
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: kept her sister, June's body after arranging for her to

278
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: be buried nearby on family land. Investigators found June lying

279
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: on a couch inside of the house and James stored

280
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: in a garage across the street. Stevens reportedly said that

281
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: she liked talking to her sister, and, according to people

282
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: interviewed in the new docuseries, even had tea with the

283
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: bodies on occasion. And that's it for this week's Monday's

284
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: Morbid Minute. For full breakdowns of these stories, plus any
