EFR – Evidence Filed Report

Case Reference: GC–FIR–005
Associated FIR: Death of Kerrin Doss – Aether Lift Towers
Filed By: Inspector Tomas Reed
Department: City Watch – Gearcross Detail
Date Filed: 28th Day of Ashwane
Status: Filed / Restricted Review

I. PURPOSE OF REPORT

This document catalogs all physical, documentary, testimonial, and environmental evidence formally collected in relation to the death of Kerrin Doss, maintenance laborer, who died following a fall from height at the Aether Lift Towers – West Tower.

This report includes evidence deemed admissible, non-admissible, downgraded, or jurisdictionally restricted.

II. CASE SCOPE SUMMARY

  • Victim: Kerrin Doss (male, 34)

  • Incident Type: Fall from height (fatal)

  • Known Fact: Death resulted from a fall originating above authorized laborer access levels

  • Primary Conflict: Physical evidence indicates access to restricted elevation; administrative records deny such access

III. PHYSICAL EVIDENCE (FILED)

E–01: Clothing Set (Victim)

  • Work jacket, trousers, boots

  • No tearing consistent with progressive fall

  • No grease, oil, or residue indicating active maintenance at time of fall

  • Classified as “neutral impact evidence”

E–02: Safety Rail Segment (Lower Platform)

  • Inspected for structural failure

  • No damage, looseness, or fatigue detected

  • Confirms fall did not originate from authorized railing breach

E–03: Shock Buffer Plate (Level 3)

  • No deformation

  • No biological transfer

  • Indicates victim did not contact intermediate safety ledges

E–04: Blood Spatter Pattern – Impact Site

  • Vertical concentration consistent with terminal free fall

  • No lateral smear or secondary impact points

  • Confirms uninterrupted descent

E–05: Personal Tool Pouch (Victim)

  • Contained standard maintenance tools only

  • No climbing gear, harness attachments, or override implements

IV. DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE (FILED)

D–01: Access Badge Log (Victim)

  • Confirms authorization limited to Levels 1–3

  • No override entries

  • No anomaly recorded

D–02: Lift System Alarm Logs

  • No unauthorized access alerts triggered

  • All systems report normal operation

D–03: West Tower Engineering Schematics

  • Establish lethal fall thresholds by level

  • Confirms fatal injury impossible below Level 6

D–04: Maintenance Work Orders (Day of Incident)

  • Assignments restricted to lower platforms

  • No emergency escalation orders issued

D–05: Airship Movement Roster (Zone D)

  • No scheduled arrivals/departures during time window

  • No laborer elevation requirement recorded

V. TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE (FILED)

T–01: Tower Security Statements

  • Uniform assertion: “No breach occurred”

  • Treated as consistent but non-informative

T–02: Platform Operator Statement

  • Acknowledges abnormal “vertical flow” without anomaly designation

  • Filed as observational only

T–03: Maintenance Rigger Statement (Ylsa Bramm)

  • Reports seeing victim “higher than usual”

  • Statement flagged as subjective and downgraded in weight

VI. RESTRICTED OR WITHHELD MATERIAL

R–01: Upper Platform Access Logs (Levels 6+)

  • Access denied pending clearance review

  • Not released to City Watch

R–02: Internal Spire Transit Surveillance

  • Classified as “non-investigatory infrastructure data”

R–03: Structural Inspection of Upper Platforms

  • Request denied due to “risk of system interference”

VII. EVIDENTIARY CONTRADICTIONS (NOTED)

The following facts coexist without resolution:

  • Medical evidence confirms fall from lethal height

  • Engineering evidence confirms lethal height exists only above restricted levels

  • Access records confirm victim lacked permission

  • System logs confirm no breach

No filed evidence contradicts another.
They simply refuse to connect.

VIII. OFFICIAL EVIDENCE ASSESSMENT

“While the evidence confirms cause of death, it does not establish procedural fault, system failure, or unauthorized access. The incident may be classified as accidental pending administrative reconciliation.”

— Gearcross Evidence Review Note (unsigned)

IX. INSPECTOR’S ADDENDUM (FILED, FLAGGED)

The body fell from a place that exists.
The records insist that place was never occupied.

This evidence does not fail to explain the death.
It explains why the death cannot be explained.

Access is treated as a prerequisite for truth.
Physics did not wait for permission.

X. FINAL STATUS

  • Evidence Filed: Yes

  • Evidence Actionable: No (per current authorization)

  • Further Collection Approved: No

  • Archival Recommendation: Deferred

CLOSING STATEMENT

All evidence necessary to understand how Kerrin Doss died has been collected.

What remains inaccessible is not material,
but allowed.

Filed in accordance with City Watch procedure.
