One speaker. One big idea. One good room.

Where · 2700 SWISS Event Space.

A coroner opens a toxicology report and decides whether a death was accident, suicide, or homicide. The blood tells one story. The headline often tells another. Dr. Harry Milman walks through the real autopsy and toxicology files on Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Whitney Houston, showing how a forensic toxicologist reads the numbers, the drug panels, and the scene evidence to determine cause and manner of death. He explains why drug use appears in most celebrity death investigations, what happens when a family refuses an autopsy and leaves the manner undetermined, and where the line between accident and suicide sits on paper. He reads from the case files in his books. No slides, just the reports and the conclusions they support.
