According to The Burn Institute more than half of fire-related deaths result from smoke inhalation, Smoke inhalation occurs when you breathe in harmful smoke particles and gases. Inhaling harmful smoke can inflame your lungs and airway, causing them to swell and block oxygen. This can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure.Smoke inhalation commonly happens when you get trapped in a contained area, such as a bedroom at home, near a fire. Most fires occur in the home, often from cooking, fireplaces and space heaters, electrical malfunctions, and smoking but occasionally, those fires are started deliberately.  Once you start to inhale the smoke, you are not getting enough oxygen to live. Depending on the density and heat of the smoke, it may take 2 to 10 minutes to pass out or die.  A standard house fire can reach temperatures of up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit (815 Celcius). It will always be hottest at the ceiling, as heat rises. However, it can still easily be a few hundred degrees or more at the floor level. What chance does a 7 year old girl stand against that?

On December 5, 2018, Mount Carmel Health System in Columbus, Ohio fired Dr. William Husel after an investigation into his treatment of patients as the late shift physician in the hospital’s intensive care unit. The investigation had started less than two months prior, when the first of three formal reports regarding Husel’s care were submitted to hospital administration. These reports, filed by two hospital pharmacists, raised concerns over Dr. Husel’s use of excessive painkillers in his treatment of patients. In all, the hospital found that at least 35 patients were affected by Dr. Husel’s actions over the course of four years. These patients, most of the gravely ill, had received oversized doses of fentanyl, at two hospitals in the Mount Carmel Health System, Mount Carmel West and Mount Carmel St. Ann’s. In the case of female one patient, the investigations found that she was given about 20 times the upper end of a dose recommended by Food and Drug Administration guidelines. Of these 35 patients, care provided to 29 were determined to be potentially fatal. Five of the patients were found to have had the opportunity for treatment that may have improved their conditions. The Mount Carmel investigation would lead to the firing of at least 23 employees, the resignation of two executives, and Dr. William Husel being arrested and charged with 25 counts of murder. So on today’s episodes, we will be discussing the case against Dr. William Husel and try to decide if what occurred at Mount Carmel was compassion care or was it murder.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crimepedia/support Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.

At 7pm the doorbell rang and Alistair’s wife Veronica answered the door to a man who only spoke two words to her, Alistair Wilson. She assumes that the man had something to do with Alistair’s work, and while Alistair goes to the door, she then attends to her small children. Alistair returns to the children’s room carrying a blue envelop addressed to Paul. He is bewildered as the envelop is empty and asks Veronica if the man definitely asked for him, which she agreed he did. They talk for a few seconds before Alistair goes back to the front door to see if the man was still there. Moments later, Veronica hears three gun shots. She runs down the stairs to find Alistair on the floor; he has been shot as close range, twice in the head and once in the torso. He is breathing but barely conscience.
