Recaps
SUMMARY OF THE SCENE
The scene, Marcel is face down in his garage in the middle of the scene. Next to his left hand is his phone. As for blood, there is blood spatters and blood on Marcel's face from a head wound and what looks to be a bloody nose. There was what looked to be blood on the back left door and on the baseball bat not far from Marcel's body. Looking away from the main items of the scene, looking closer, one will see that there is chewed-up gum underneath the front left tire, almost hidden. That concludes everything important to the scene.
SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE
Hair Sample
When looking at the hair samples, the unknown one at the scene looks most similar to be either Aiden's hair or Kay's hair. When looking closer, both have the same color, and both curve a little bit. This is very similar to the sample on the scene, which concludes that it is very hard to determine whose it is out of those two.
Fingerprints
There were two different fingerprints that were found on the baseball bat. The two fingerprints matched to Cam's and Marcel's. These prints would make sense considering they both play baseball and they live together.

Blood Typing
After seeing whose blood type is whose, it was confirmed that it was Marcel's blood on the ground. It could have also been Kay or Jenn but considering that Marcel had the head wound, it can be inferred that it is Marcel's blood on the ground
DNA Evidence
The gel electrophoresis showed that without a doubt the blood on the ground was Marcel's but the electrophoresis also showed that the gum under the tire had Kay's DNA on it
Toxicology
Marcel had 65 mg/L of caffeine in his system and 20 mg/L of acetaminophen. The levels of these two things in his body are not harmful in any way. However, there was also organocarbamide in his system. Organocarbamide is a rodent killer and if anything over 9 mg/L is injested, it is considered very lethal. Marcel had 30 mg/L in his body which is considered deadly.
Heart
When looking at Marcel's heart images, nothing appeared abnormal of his and everything was as it should be.
Histology
MRI and cross section images were normal and their was no damage to the brain. Marcel's brain tissues also looked normal.

Conclusions
Overall, Marcel's death was a homicide. Marcel's home was invaded and someway, and somehow, he ingested rodent poison over the amount that is considered lethal. This killed him in his garage causing the head wound from the fall since the blood on the bat was not blood so he could have not been hit. The top suspect would be Kay considering that her gum was found in his garage not far from where he died. Marcel and Kay did not get along so there is no need for Kay to be in his house for any reason. This leads Kay to be the top suspect since her DNA was found at the scene. Marcel died roughly around 1:30 am Saturday morning. This means that Kay could have followed him home after their work shift ended and killed him. Marcel's cause of death was the ingestion of poison, the mechanism is the overdose of organcarbamide and the manner of death is a homocide.
Recommendations
Going forward, we need to look further into Kay Litrell and Aiden Santori in the death of Marcel Newgard. Kay's DNA was found on the scene meaning she was there at some point of the crime and Aiden had been acting suspicious according to Newgard's roommate Cam. This death has been deemed a homicide so we need to figure out who to charge this crime with.
