Dr. Theodore John Strickland, MD

My sibling was brought to you last year. I actually got a phone call back from a Medical Examiner who exclaimed “Wow! I can’t believe we are talking on a Saturday evening.” How could someone get my sister’s eye color wrong on the report? It says Hazel and she has the BLUEST EYES EVER! Also, how can you be 2-3 inches off on her height? She was 5’ 7” 15 years ago. I would make a great guess that she’s about 5’ 5”-5’ 6”. You had her at 69 inches. Not in this lifetime! 3 months after her death I called up asking the question about the 22,000 ng/g units of Diphenhydramine she had in her system. I asked “Ballpark figure, approximately how much is this?” Nobody could answer me. I said her husband didn’t find her body for approximately 60 hours, so she most likely died immediately after taking the medication and her body probably was there for all that time.” I said “My pharmacist estimated it to be around 76 pill, wouldn’t you consider that a suicide with all of the other medication in her… system.” You, the Medical Examiner said “No.” Can anyone explain. I know you are all busy and such but somethings are just not adding up. I would greatly appreciate some type of explanation. Anything at this point.
