NEW YORK -- The city's medical examiner concluded a detective who got sick after working at Ground Zero got the lung disease that killed him by injecting ground-up pills, his spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.
Chief Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch has concluded that retired police detective James Zadroga was injecting pills into his bloodstream, leaving traces of the pills in the lung tissue, spokeswoman Ellen Borakove told The Associated Press.

Unfortunately, fraud exists.
“he’s a worthless courtroom whore.”
Spoken like a trial lawyer. He was a top rate Forensic Pathologist until he started reading his press clippings.
I'm in no position to challenge his medical expertise because I've never been to medical school and my statement doesn't constitute such a challenge.But any forensic pathologist who testifies for a defendant is,IMO,a whore.Same goes for the likes of Dr Henry Lee.
I wouldn't have thought you could get them through the syringe...
I don’t trust Dr, Baden or Dr. Lee. They like to be on television way too much.
So, defandants should not get the benefit of forensic pathologists testifying on their behalf, notwithstanding the over 200 people who have been exonerated by DNA?
I hope you never sit on a jury.
“Alan Colmes asked forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden if the Duke rape case didn’t raise issues of prosecutorial misconduct.
Baden thought it did, especially with regard to those who have been exonerated by the Innocence Project. “(The Duke rape case) allows us to talk about the general issue of prosecutorial withholding of evidence and misconduct, especially when it comes to the almost 200 people that have gotten out of jail who are innocent. Most of those cases, the prosecutors didn’t do their job correctly.” Baden referenced a case from that day’s New York Times where a defendant had been exonerated through DNA yet “the prosecutor still won’t let him out.” Baden said”

I would think snorting his meds would be a more likely explanation.
Glad you mentioned about Baden. Take him and anything he says with a pillar of salt.
Just because the DNA results don't prove guilt doesn't, by itself, mean that the convict is innocent.
no one said it did.
They didn't?
"Baden referenced a case from that day’s New York Times where a defendant had been exonerated through DNA yet “the prosecutor still won’t let him out.” Baden said”"
He was exonerated.
So the professional expert witness said. What was the convict's name so I can research it myself?
There was a Deskovic, a Kogut, a Frapiano. DA Pirro refused to help Deskovic.
I don’t know which one, if any of the above, Baden was referring to but I’m trying to find it myself.
Thanks. I’ll see if I can dig anything up with that.
Scott Fappiano
Alan Newton
John Kogut
Korey Wise
Douglas Warney
Jeff Deskovic
Capozzi
These are the most recent exonerations. I know that there was an exoneration who was kept in jail but I just can’t remember which one it was. I believe he was eventually released. DA’s hate to give in sometimes.
A family whose loved one was murdered by his wife was able to secure justice because they contacted him and he conducted his own examination of the details of the case.
Otherwise, it was going under ‘natural causes’ and the murderer would have walked (and did ‘walk’ for YEARS.)
I can’t hate the guy when he does stuff like that.
