The walls were covered with blood and bandages were open all over the floor. An autopsy could confirm that the man shunt (the place wherehad the dialysis needles in his arms each session) get infected and progressively larger with each session. No one realized that he started to bleed when he left the dialysis center. Sorry to burst when he came home, the shunt and as it was connected to an artery, blood shot from all over the bathroom, create what looked like a crime scene. It was only through the autopsy that we could prove our case successfully.
