This document details the medical examination, toxicological analysis, and pathological findings related to multiple cases of acute poisoning associated with the consumption of meat products distributed by Grimshank’s Meats.
This report supersedes initial bacterial contamination assessments.
Deceased:
Jasek Holt (Shop Helper)
Bram Vetch (Retired Rail Clerk)
One unidentified laborer (documentation incomplete at intake)
Survivors (Partial Sampling):
Linna Marr
Ressa Coaldrift
Additional patients (names redacted due to incomplete records)
Across all subjects, presenting symptoms shared the following characteristics:
Severe abdominal pain described as internal burning
Rapid onset of nausea and systemic weakness
Organ distress inconsistent with common foodborne illness
Poor response to standard detoxification and purgative treatment
Time-to-failure was markedly shorter than observed in bacterial or parasitic cases.
Extensive testing revealed:
Presence of organic toxins bound to complex protein chains
Compounds resistant to thermal breakdown at standard cooking temperatures
Cellular markers inconsistent with animal-only tissue
Microscopic analysis confirmed:
Human-origin cellular material interwoven with processed meat fibers
The material showed signs of prior exposure to:
High heat
Chemical treatment consistent with industrial waste handling
Partial mechanical breakdown before entering the food chain
Cause of death in all fatal cases is determined as:
Acute systemic poisoning resulting from ingestion of meat contaminated with processed human remains
The mechanism of poisoning appears to involve:
Toxin concentration formed during industrial degradation of human tissue
Secondary contamination through improper classification and rerouting
There is no evidence of:
Ritual mutilation
Intentional human slaughter for consumption
Cult activity
This was not cannibalism by intent.
This was contamination by process.
The contamination pathway likely involved:
Improper disposal of human remains via industrial waste channels
Subsequent reclassification of organic matter during supply shortage windows
Introduction into approved food distribution without secondary verification
Inspection stamps and approval marks examined were valid and correctly applied.
No single procedural violation can be isolated.
Initial death certificates listing:
“Digestive failure”
“Industrial exhaustion”
“Complications of labor”
are hereby amended.
However, it is noted that such classifications were reasonable under standard intake protocols and would not normally trigger escalation.
As a physician, I must state for the record:
The human body was treated as waste.
The waste was treated as material.
The material was treated as food.
At no point did any system involved behave outside its intended parameters.

Following review of IIT – Initial Interrogation Transcripts, the following correlations are medically relevant:
Statements regarding “internal burning” made by Jasek Holt prior to death align precisely with toxin profile.
Reports of spoilage being “forgiven by the clock” correlate with known degradation thresholds observed in tissue samples.
Delivery timing suggests meat entered circulation during a period where secondary inspection is statistically deprioritized.
Medical findings do not contradict any testimony.
They complete it.
Subsequent to IIT disclosures involving the Grimshank family, this office has been informed of the following:
Kerrick Grimshank, son of the accused, departed the premises weeks prior to the incident.
Witness statements indicate he identified the meat as originating from “non-food rail.”
Medical analysis supports the assertion that the contaminated material did not originate from standard livestock supply.
While Kerrick Grimshank is not implicated in preparation or sale, his observations suggest early awareness of misclassification within the supply chain.
From a medical standpoint, this implies:
The contamination existed prior to Grimshank’s handling
Early detection was possible but carried no safe reporting pathway
His absence may have prevented additional casualties.
No medical evidence suggests his involvement in wrongdoing.
This incident represents a systemic failure of classification and containment, not an isolated act of negligence.
The deaths were preventable.
The process was not designed to prevent them.
Report filed and sealed under standard protocols.
