AUTOPSY REPORT

SUBJECT: [REDACTED]

SUMMARY:

The deceased was a [REDACTED]-year-old [REDACTED]with no significant past medical history. The subject was brought in after being discovered in the Active Threshold, in an early state of decay that is characteristically fungal-based in its appearance.

During autopsy, the cadaver's pleural cavities were revealed to be entirely filled by the fungus known as the Mold, to an extent that medical staff were forced to put on decontamination suits. The procedure was also hindered by anomalies such as the deceased's high body temperature and undulating torso muscles presumably, but not provably, caused by trapped gases. Routine samples, as well as tissue samples requested by Dr. Underhill, were successfully extracted, however their rapid retrogression outside of the host body needs to be noted.

Cause of death: Mold ingestion.
