Dr. G: Medical Examiner - Season 6 - Eps 9: Deadly Silence
A 12-year-old boy is found dead at the bottom of the family pool after going for a midnight swim. While Dr. G can easily establish that the boy drowned, finding out what caused the drowning may be more difficult. The boy has a history of depression and drug use, making suicide or accidental overdose possibilities. Just when Dr. G thinks she has found the answer, a new piece of evidence surfaces that puts everything into perspective. A 31-year-old man lying motionless on the railroad tracks is hit by a train. Did the man commit suicide, was he murdered and placed on the tracks, or did he pass out on the tracks due to alcohol abuse or a natural medical emergency? It's up to Dr. G to find out.

Synopsis
Dr. G: Medical Examiner is a reality television series shown on TLC and Discovery Fit & Health. Dr. G, or Dr. Jan Garavaglia, is the Chief Medical Examiner with Florida's District Nine Medical Examiner's office in Orlando, Florida. This series features Dr. G working on unexplained deaths in the Orlando area, as well as similar deaths from her last position as a Medical Examiner in Bexar County, Texas. The shows feature dramatic re-enactments of the events leading up to the person's death as well as the autopsies. Also interviews of Dr. G, family members, and other people connected to the deaths are shown. The unexplained death cases that Dr. G works on can come from a variety of factors, such as undiagnosed medical conditions, accidents, or foul play. In one instance, a woman who attempted suicide died a few days after her attempt. Dr. G found that her death was actually due to another condition and was not by her own hand. Another instance dealt with human bones that had been found alongside some railroad tracks. Through an autopsy and investigative work it was discovered that the remains were those of a missing girl who had been killed by her mother. The series is produced by NY-based Atlas Media Corporation. Executive Producer is Bruce David Klein.
