Nikolai Witschl: Dr. Curdle Jr.

Quotes 

• [Dr. Curdle Jr. hands Betty the unauthorized autopsy report on Clifford Blossom] 

  Betty Cooper : What does it say? That he died of asphyxiation by hanging?

  Dr. Curdle Jr. : There was bruising around the esophagus, consistent with that of a hanging victim. However, there was also tetrodotoxin in his bloodstream. Pufferfish venom. In Clifford's case, the dose was almost certainly fatal.

  Betty Cooper : So you're saying Clifford may not have died from hanging, but from being poisoned.

  Dr. Curdle Jr. : I'm saying that Clifford Blossom was already dead when he hung himself.
