External Examination

The device was received in a sunglasses case lined with a microfiber cloth, consistent with a ceremonial burial container.

Observed conditions:

  • Multiple screen fractures radiating from the upper-right corner
  • Water residue along the charging port
  • A faint scent of lavender lotion
  • Pop Socket attached postmortem “as a tribute,” per next of kin

No case was present at the time of death, suggesting the victim lived a high‑risk lifestyle.

The autopsy revealed the following:

The motherboard showed signs of acute water exposure
The battery was cold, unresponsive, and at 0%
The speaker contained a single grain of rice lodged in the mesh
The SIM tray was intact but emotionally compromised
The charging port exhibited scarring consistent with repeated “desperate jamming”

No foreign objects were found except for lint, crumbs, and what appeared to be glitter.

Resuscitation Attempts (Per Witness Statements)

  • Phone CPR — unsuccessful
  • Induced coma via prolonged charging — unsuccessful
  • Emergency hydration therapy (rice submersion) — unsuccessful
  • “Firm but loving taps” to the back of the device — unsuccessful
  • Whispering motivational phrases — unsuccessful

Dr. Chipson reported that the device “flatlined the moment it hit the sink before continuing into the water.”
