__ The Case of the Drowning Man __ Dr. Freedle looked at the dead body that belonged to Timothy Crandall. According to the suspect, Marcus Bitlokk, he ran out of oxygen while scuba diving in the famous Lake Watchaka. He didn’t have enough oxygen to make it back to the surface is what Dr. Freedle was told. “I looked for him but I couldn’t see him. I went to dive for him but when I had reached him, he was gone. I knew that I couldn’t save him. I came back to the surface with a quarter tank of oxygen left. I… I wished that I could’ve saved him, he was a great man… and friend,” said Marcus with some tears in his eyes. Dr. Freedle noticed that Marcus was showing signs of the Bends Disease, which is also known as decompression sickness. This meant that he came up and out of the water too quickly. “Sir, may I please see your oxygen tank?” asked Dr. Freedle. Marcus looked surprised. “Uh no, I throw my tanks away. I don’t like the carbon dioxide in the air, sorry.” Dr. Freedle was not pleased, “Then may I please see your hands?” “Yes, of course.” Marcus showed Dr. Freedle his hands. They were scratched up, bruised, red, and there were blisters. Dr. Freedle murmured, “Just as I thought.” Then he said, “Thank you, these hands will be coming with me to jail. It was a convincing bluff, but everyone knows that all stories have a lie behind them. // How did Timothy Die??? //
