The Medicine Man
Meet Dr. William Sybers (seen right in police custody), no less than the chief medical examiner of Northwest Florida, who had been married to his wife Kay for over 30 years. When Kay unexpectedly died one morning in 1991, William ordered that no autopsy be performed, explaining that his wife had a phobia of such things.

By the time authorities overturned Sybers' orders, embalming fluid had replaced Kay's blood, so no biological tests could be performed on the woman, though suspicious pathologists decided to keep Kay's liver and heart preserved (seen below).

Some ten years passed, during which time Sybers married a woman with whom he had an affair prior to Kay's death. Eventually, however, advancements in medicine allowed researchers to retest Kay's organs for drugs, previously undetectable, that might have killed her. Ironically, these drugs would surely have been destroyed were it not for Sybers' insistence on embalming the corpse in the first place. Chew on that maddening nugget in jail, Syber-man!
