7/30/2014 Caller is an investigator with a coroner office. He is investigating the death of a (name) year old male with a known history of alcoholism who was found dead on 7/27/2014 in a chair at home. According to available history, this product was sprayed in the patient's room (reportedly unventilated) at his parents house while he was present at about 10:00 a.m. on 7/27/2014 by his father. About 2 hours later, the patient was complaining of headaches. Around 2:00 p.m. he moved to an easy chair in another room. He was found unresponsive at 5:00 p.m. and emergency medical services were called. Resuscitation efforts were made, but he was declared dead at a local hospital. He did not regain consciousness after being found unresponsive. There is no suspicion of self harm attempt with this product or deliberate actions to injure. At present this is being investigated as an unexpected death. 8/5/2014 Attempted call back to the original caller. A message was left requesting follow up information. Follow-up again made with the Medical Examiner's office on Aug. 13 in an attempt to determine findings of the autopsy.

The report indicates, however, that the pathologist indicates that the Bayer pesticide is was not felt to be contributory.
