Michael Hart Jr. was found unresponsive by his wife, Jami, in their bed around noon Saturday... La Porte County Chief Deputy Coroner John Sullivan pronounced Hart’s time of death as 5:16 a.m. Saturday.

Wow, that's really... precise.

Spending one’s honeymoon with one’s father-in-law is enough to OD.

I often find my husband unresponsive. I need to be more careful and make sure he at least grunts everynow and then.

His wife is a lucky woman she was spared an very unhappy life.

I wonder if she had a chance to get the beneficiary changed on his life insurance.

One is tempted to wonder why the excitement of a wedding night would ever need to be "augmented" by drugs.

Pitifully sad.

I hope the bride is able to put this horrible life to which she was willing to give herself quickly behind her, for society's sake as well as her own. I don't want to hear there's a book or movie about it all.

Wow, that's really... precise.

When the MEs have a recently deceased body, they take the body's skin temperature, core temperature and the ambient temperature.

Bodies completely cool from 98.6 down to room temperature over the course of hours at a fairly regular rate, so the ME just uses his temperature charts to calculate how long before the body was discovered that it began cooling (i.e. died).

5:16 am is just the time the spreadsheet spit out when he punched in all the temperature measurements as variables into the equation.

cause of death was “poly drug use” involving methadone and other drugs, Sullivan said. The death was ruled an accidental overdose.

Did he trip and fall on a needle? Or is death by stupidity now considered an accident?

Yep, it probably doesn’t seem like it now, but this worked out for the best. It’s better to end it now before she winds up on an episode of Cops and loses the house because every nickel they have is going toward drugs.
