I'd hope this isn't a true story but the U.S.A. is not exactly a "first world" nation.
We just have more guns. And bombs. And stuff like that.

I saw it on the news.
Did the coroner have any medical training at all?

but that he woke up in the 19th Hole in a golf bag. His high alcohol content confused people as they thought he was already embalmed.
