Hackman’s Paysmejker could provide a key mark on Hackman’s death, said Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden during the “Fox Report”.
“This event would be a heart failure caused by a non -female pulse,” Baden explained. “The landscape follows the pulse, and when it goes down too low, it is dropped. And that’s all in the record.”
“So the autopsy showed that there was no injury,” the forensic pathologist continued. “There was no carbon monoxide. And he had – the most common cause of death in this country – severe heart disease, coronary artery disease and high blood pressure, from what was released. Thus, it would cause it to be heartbroken in the mud just there.”
