THE CASE OF THE DROWNING MEN
Written and illustrated by EPONYMOUS ROX
“With regard to
Patrick McNeill, we have a young man who is found [with] a blood alcohol level
of 0.16. Probably a third of that is postmortem putrefaction…a relatively low
level of alcohol. There's no way in the world that this man then is accidentally
going to fall into a body of water, [and] I’m saying that the fly larvae have
been laid in the groin area. It's an indoor fly—could not have been an outdoor
fly―it was an indoor fly. And the larvae were there, did not move ahead into
the later stage. So we have a body that was already dead before it was placed
in the water…I would call it a homicide, yes.” Dr.
Cyril Wecht, renowned Forensic Pathologist
"Circumferentially around the neck there is a pattern
which consists of numerous vertical lines evenly spaced (1/16") around his
neck as if to suggest some type of binding." from the McNeill autopsy
report by Dr. Charles Hirsch, then Chief Medical Examiner for the city of New
York
“Yes, regarding
that particular case in New York, that certainly does sound like it was a
homicide.” Candice Delong, career FBI
Profiler, speaking of Patrick McNeill’s drowning
“Patrick's death was not an accidental drowning. He was
stalked, abducted, held for an extended period of time, murdered, and
disposed.” Kevin Gannon, NYPD homicide
detective investigating the McNeill case since 1997
