Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey everyone, Welcome the Monday's Morbid Minute. This is your
quick rundown of the week's most fascinating stories involving death, disease,
medicine and injury, making headlines and rippling through the pop culture.
We'll tease the cases here, then do a deep dive
into the pathology, forensics, and medical mysteries later in our
normal Mother Nos Death episodes, in articles over in the
(00:27):
Gross Room, and during our weekly YouTube live bonus episode
exclusively for Grossroom members. If it's dark, disturbing, medically bizarre,
or just too good not to dissect, you'll hear it
first on Monday's Morbid Minute.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
In true crime and court cases, we have some updates
in two cases we've covered on Mother Nos Death. First,
Luigi Mangioni pleads guilty. Luigi Mangoni, Hey eight, plead a
guilty and federal court to two stalking charges connected to
the December twenty twenty four killing of United Healthcare CEO
Brian Thompson. During the hearing, Mangioni admitted that he tracked Thompson,
(01:12):
traveled to New York, and fatally shot him outside a
Manhattan hotel. He is scheduled to be sentenced in December
and could face life in prison. The plea could also
affect Mangionie's separate New York state murder case, which was
scheduled to go to trial in September. His attorneys are
arguing that prosecuting him again for the same killing would
violate double jeopardy protections. The Manhattan District Attorney's office plans
(01:37):
to fight the motion, so the question now is whether
Mangioni will face a second trial for Thompson's death. Grandfather
charged after boat crash kills two grandchildren. On July twenty ninth,
we had discussed the story of two siblings, nine and
seven years old who were thrown from their family's boat
and killed. Now, their grandfather, who was driving the boat,
is facing homicide charges after authorities say he was in
(01:59):
toxated while his boat struck the channel marker. The grandfather
has been charged with two counts of second degree reckless
vessel homicide, along with boating under the influence and reckless operation.
He surrendered to police after the charges were filed. Six
year old jumps from window and tests positive for cocaine.
Stevie Thibodeaux, thirty, of Fairmount West Virginia was arrested after
(02:22):
her six year old autistic son jumped from a second
story apartment window and later tested positive for cocaine. Authorities
say the boy was taken to the hospital following the fall,
where testing revealed cocaine in his system. Thibodeau is charged
with child neglect creating a risk of serious injury or death.
Investigators are looking into how the child was exposed to
(02:43):
the drug and the circumstances surrounding the fall. Woman loses
twenty five thousand dollars in elaborate jury duty scam. Kimberly
Fudged thirty eight of Tampa, Florida lost twenty five thousand
dollars after scammers convinced her she had missed federal jury
duty and was about to be arrested. The caller's impersonated
law enforcements set her a fake arrest warrant and knew
(03:05):
personal details about her. They told her to pay supposed
bail through cryptocurrency machines and warned her not to tell anyone.
The scam lasted nearly ten hours, during which Fudge made
multiple cash deposits and even asked her husband for five
thousand dollars. He became suspicious in contacted nine one one,
and real deputies eventually confirmed she had been scammed. Authorities
(03:27):
warned that legitimate courts will never demand payment by phone,
cryptocurrency or gift cards to avoid arrest. Police officer sues
woman after falling down her steps. A Portland police officer
issuing a seventy six year old woman for two million
dollars after falling down the steps outside her home during
a twenty twenty five welfare check. The officer said the
(03:49):
concrete staircase had no hand rouls and violated city code.
He suffered injuries, including damage to his hand, fingers, head
and shoulder, and eventually went on leave. The lawsuit argued
that elderly woman was responsible for unsafe condition of the property.
The case phraises an unusual question about liability when someone
is injured while responding to a police call at a
(04:10):
private residence. Knife hidden inside carved out book found at
Tampa Airport. A knife was discovered hidden inside a hollowed
out book at Tampa International Airport. According to airport authorities,
The unusual concealment was discovered during security screening, prompting officials
to confiscate the weapon. The incident is another example of
(04:31):
how travelers attempt to disguise prohibited or potentially dangerous items
by hiding them inside ordinary objects. Fugitive doctor captured after
more than twenty years on the run. Doctor Ronald L. Fisher,
seventy was captured after more than twenty years as a fugitive. Fisher,
a former anesthesiologist, was accused of raping a woman aboard
(04:52):
his yacht, the Lion King, in Rhode Island in two
thousand and three. He fled during his two thousand and
five trial and was later convicted in upst a first
degree sexual assault. For more than two decades, Fisher allegedly
lived in plain sight under alias's, eventually becoming known as
Richard Graydon and building a career as a biotech and
pharmaceutical executive in California. He also owned a fifty six
(05:16):
foot sailboat and traveled extensively. Investigators eventually tracked him to
his jot off the New Jersey coast, where federal authorities
arrested him about an hour offshore. Grandmother pull's gun on
alleged shoplifter outside Tucson Ross a grandmother in Tucson, Arizona,
confronted a man accused of shoplifting from a raw store
(05:38):
and reportedly pulled out a gun during the encounter. Video
of the incident went viral after the woman confronted the
alleged thief outside the store. According to reports, the man
was accused of stealing merchandise and the grandmother intervened rather
than simply letting him leave. The incident has sparked plenty
of debate over how far bystanders should go when confronting
suspected shoplifters, and Wheather pulling a firearm over stolen merchandise
(06:02):
creates in even greater danger. In celebrity and pop culture news,
Hayden Pantier dies at thirty six. Hayden Panatier, the actress
best known for Heroes in Nashville, has died at thirty six.

three years old. Former MLB pitcher Tommy John has died
at eighty three while in hospice care at his home
in Florida. John played twenty six seasons and won two
(06:46):
hundred and eighty eight games, but he became best known
for making medical history in nineteen seventy four, after tearing
the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. Doctor Frank
Joe replaced the damaged ligament with a tendon from John's forearm,
which was then an experimental procedure. John returned to baseball
in nineteen seventy six and went on to pitch another
(07:06):
fourteen seasons, actually winning more games after the surgery than before.
The procedure eventually became known as Tommy John Surgery and
has since helped thousands of athletes recover from serious elbow injuries.
Mann arrested after allegedly urinating on family at Morgan Wallen concert.
A thirty three year old man was arrested in North

an arrest warrant. He is charged with four counts of
second degree assault, public urination, and other offenses. Medicine and
Health news an update in the case of the surrogate
who fought the biological parents over an abortion. McKenna West,
a twenty eight year old Alaska nurse and sarrogate, has
given birth in Texas to a baby boy after refusing

to terminate the pregnancy despite the biological parents wishes. The baby,
diagnosed to twenty weeks with hypoplastic left heart syndrome HLHS,
a serious heart defect in which the left side of
the heart is underdeveloped, was expected to need major medical
treatment after birth. West had initially agreed to an abortion,
but later changed her mind and traveled to Texas, setting
(08:33):
off a complicated legal battle involving California, Alaska, and Texas.
After the birth, a California court ruled that the biological
parents were the child's legal parents, and the baby was
turned over to them. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, however,
had previously obtained an order requiring life saving treatment and
preventing the baby from being removed from Texas. West is
(08:55):
still fighting for custody, making this a fascinating case involving
surrogacy contracts, parental rights, and medical decision making. You could
hear more about our thoughts on this case on the
August sixth episode. Poop pills could help treat pinut allergies.
Researchers are testing an unusual treatment for severe penut allergies
using capsules containing bacteria from healthy donor stool. In a
(09:19):
small study of ten young adults, three were able to

are preliminary and much larger studies are needed. Stone countertop

nearly six hundred cases of silicosis among workers who manufacture
Courtz countertap since twenty nineteen. Silicosis is an incurable lung disease.
Caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust released when engineered stone
is cut. At least sixty five workers have required lung
transplants and thirty one have died. The medium age of

of cases could be higher because the disease can take
years to develop and is sometimes misdiagnosed. Couple sues Popeyes

found a condom like object inside a piece of fried chicken.
(10:27):
Justin Howard allegedly bent into the object and became sick
and nauseated. The couple claims they were concerned about possible
exposure to bacteria and other contaminants. Popeyes disputes this account,
saying surveillance footage suggests the object was actually a restaurant
love that may have accidentally ended up in the food.
The lawsuit alleges negligence, but the claims have not been proven.

four year old mother from Liverpool suffered a severe brain
injury after apparently sleepwalking and falling about forty feet from
a balcony while vacationing in Paris. She suffered a brain bleed,

multiple bacteria associated with food borne illness E. Coli. He
suffered cardiac arrests that left his brain without enough oxygen,
resulting in severe permanent damage. He spent months in a
(11:55):
coma and now requires around the clock care. The lawsuit
alleges contaminated oysters caused his illness, but the restaurant denies responsibility.
Four year old dies after an electrical shock from clothes dryer.
A four year old child in Kansas died on August
sixth after suffering an electrical shock involving a closed dryer
at home. The child was found unconscious and was being
(12:18):
rushed to a hospital when emergency responders were called. The

came into contact with the electrical current. Construction worker trapped
in conveyor belt undergoes surgery at the scene. A construction
(12:41):
worker suffered serious injuries on August fourteenth after his arm
became trapped in a conveyor belt at an asphalt plant
in Massachusetts. When rescuers arrived, he was hanging about ten
feet above the ground with his arm caught in the machinery.
Surgeons performed an emergency procedure at the scene so firefighters
could safely free him to war uring the roughly two
and a half hour rescue. The worker remained unconscious throughout

the ordeal and was eventually airlifted to a Level one
Trauma Center for Additional surgery. Officials said he suffered extensive
injuries but was expected to recover and finishing up with
other death news man received twenty six year old postcard
from his late parents. A long Beach, California man got
an unexpected piece of mail on August fifth when he

dated July two thousand and included a short message from
his parents describing the scenery they saw while flying into Denmark.
Both his parents have since died. His mother passed away
four years ago, while his father died two years before her.
The really strange part is that the postcard had a
(13:48):
twenty twenty six postmark, meaning it apparently spent more than
two decades somewhere in the postal system before finally reaching him.
His mail carrier suggested it may have fallen out of
the bin and ended up underneath furniture for years, although
there's no way to know for sure. He said the
postcard felt like quote a postcard from heaven and plans
