This report documents the medical examination, trauma analysis, and forensic reconstruction related to the death of Kerrin Doss, a contracted maintenance laborer found deceased at the base of the Aether Lift Towers – West Tower.
This report addresses discrepancies between recorded access permissions and physical injury outcomes.
Name: Kerrin Doss
Age: 34
Sex: Male
Occupation: Contract Maintenance Runner
Assignment Location: Aether Lift Towers – West Tower (Lower Platforms)
Date of Death: 27th Day of Ashwane
Time of Death (Estimated): Between 5:31 a.m. and 5:44 a.m.
Identity confirmed via employment records and visual confirmation by site supervisors.
The body was received intact, exhibiting extensive traumatic injury consistent with high-velocity vertical impact.
Clothing showed no tearing inconsistent with free fall. No safety harness, lanyard, or ascent equipment was present on the body or recovered at the scene.
Hands were free of grease, oil, or residue consistent with active maintenance work at time of fall.
Observed injuries include:
Catastrophic cranial fractures with depressed bone segments
Thoracic compression with bilateral rib shattering
Pelvic fragmentation
Lower extremity fractures consistent with terminal vertical deceleration
There are no defensive wounds, no restraint marks, and no patterned injuries suggestive of assault.
No abrasions consistent with ladder slippage or progressive fall were observed.
Internal examination revealed:
Extensive cerebral hemorrhage
Complete rupture of major thoracic vessels
Organ displacement consistent with extreme vertical deceleration
No evidence of pre-existing medical event (e.g., stroke, cardiac failure)
Cause of death is determined to be massive blunt force trauma due to fall from height.
Based on injury severity, bone fragmentation, and organ displacement, the estimated minimum fall height required to produce observed trauma is calculated as exceeding standard lethal thresholds for controlled industrial environments.
Comparative analysis indicates:
Falls from authorized laborer platforms (Levels 1–3) would likely result in severe injury but not immediate fatality, due to shock buffers and segmented ledges.
Injury patterns are consistent with a fall from Levels 6–8, where uninterrupted vertical distance exceeds survivability margins.
This estimation is made independent of access permissions, relying solely on biomechanical evidence.
Toxicology screening returned negative for:
Alcohol
Common industrial stimulants or depressants
Sedatives or disorienting compounds
No substances were detected that would impair judgment, balance, or perception.
There is no evidence of intoxication, coercion, or incapacitation.
Rigor, lividity, and body temperature align with the estimated time window provided in FIR GC–FIR–005.
Lividity patterns are consistent with immediate death upon impact and no post-mortem relocation.
Cause of Death:
Massive blunt force trauma due to fall from significant height.
Manner of Death:
Undetermined.
This classification reflects the following contradiction:
The injuries conclusively indicate a fall from a height not accessible under recorded permissions.
There is no medical, behavioral, or mechanical evidence supporting accidental fall from authorized levels.
There is no evidence supporting suicide or physical altercation.
The body demonstrates access that the records deny.
From a forensic standpoint:
The fall height existed.
The injuries confirm it.
The body experienced it.
The absence of documented access does not negate physical reality.
Medical evidence does not require permission to be valid.
Further specificity regarding fall origin would require:
Inspection of upper-level structures
Comparison with localized surface residue or mechanical impact points
Review of upper-platform environmental conditions
These actions fall outside medical jurisdiction and were not authorized at time of examination.
As a physician, I can state the following with certainty:
This man did not fall from where he was allowed to be.
If access did not occur, the injuries could not exist.
If the injuries exist, access occurred.
Medicine cannot reconcile permissions.
Only outcomes.

The death of Kerrin Doss represents a physically verified event that conflicts with administrative records.
The body is correct.
The paperwork is incomplete.
This report is filed in full compliance with forensic standards and sealed under restricted circulation.
