A

0:00

mysterious death happened in April

0:02

twenty twenty two in Lynchburg, Virginia.

0:04

Johnny Cashman's mother who lived

0:07

far away in Maine hadn't heard from her

0:09

son in few days and started to worry,

0:11

who wasn't like him. She asked the police

0:13

to go to his house for a welfare check. where

0:15

they found Johnny on his back with

0:17

pools of blood around him. His death

0:19

was quickly ruled a medical issue and

0:22

the case was closed. But the family

0:24

was suspicious and demanded an autopsy.

0:26

They were denied being told to trust

0:28

the system. But when Johnny's ex girlfriend

0:31

entered his apartment a few days after he was

0:33

freemated. It was obvious his death

0:35

was not a medical issue. There was

0:37

blood everywhere. The bathroom looked

0:39

like a murder scene. You're about to hear

So this is just

1:01

not

1:01

what anybody had anybody who

1:05

had heard about this expected to see because

1:07

they thought it was a medical emergency. They

1:10

had no idea that there was

1:12

blood everywhere. and

1:14

his ex girlfriend took

1:16

a bunch of photos with

1:19

her phone of this

1:21

scene And did

1:23

you look at these photos, Erin? Unfortunately,

1:26

I did. Yeah.

1:28

What

1:29

did you say to this Justin, you have an idea

1:31

when someone says a medical emergency. Maybe

1:34

you can expect some blood, right?

1:36

But when you see footprints and

1:38

finger fingerprints kind

1:41

of left in the blood and just

1:43

the amount of blood that was everywhere,

1:46

it starts to look like something else

1:48

happened. and I'm not saying it was,

1:50

but I mean, it's not exactly

1:52

the way the police described it. Like,

1:55

they didn't do this justice. No.

1:57

We've covered other cases where I

1:59

did feel that

2:01

the person

2:02

died of

2:05

drugs or

2:06

whatever and not been murdered,

2:09

no foul play. And there was

2:11

a large amount of blood or bodily

2:13

fluids found because of because

2:15

of the rate of decay and what happens to the body

2:18

after it dies in a hot room.

2:20

But

2:20

when I saw these pictures, I

2:22

did not get that

2:25

feeling that this was somebody that was

2:27

having a medical emergency.

2:30

This

2:31

looks like somebody was fighting

2:33

for their life looks like

2:35

they were bleeding out, also

2:38

in the amount of time between

2:41

not hearing from Johnny and

2:43

the police showing up and

2:45

that it's April, it

2:47

wasn't that hot out. So

2:49

the amount of blood

2:52

was too much and it was not contained

2:54

to one area. It was splashed

2:56

about. There was a chair that

2:59

looked like somebody went and sat down

3:01

on.

3:02

and then moved around some more,

3:04

the bathroom just looks like a murder scene.

3:07

I

3:08

don't know how anyone could walk into

3:11

displace and just

3:13

assume

3:14

natural causes. The

3:16

authorities said in autopsy was

3:18

not necessary Now that you see the pictures,

3:21

you say, no, please.

3:23

Do an autopsy. But

3:25

he's already been cremated. yeah,

3:27

he's already been cremated. They can't do

3:29

it now. Yeah. Right? And

3:32

now the anxiety, the

3:34

stress, but the family goes through

3:36

the ceiling because I'm sure

3:38

their first thought is, oh no, we've

3:40

made a grave error here

3:42

because by cremating him,

3:45

Now we can't have an autopsy done.

3:48

They can't go back.

3:50

Evidence has been destroyed, and

3:52

they will never know

3:54

how he died. And this

3:56

is about to get worse because as bad as

3:58

these pictures are, more

4:00

evidence will surface. What

4:02

does his girlfriend do next?
