Case of Gregory Walker.
December 12, 2005. Walker approached physician Dr. Wesley Hagen regarding symptoms of intestinal parasitism. Walker was prescribed antiparasitics and dismissed, despite inconclusive test results.
January 7, 2006. Walker arrived at the Clearview Hospital at 11:43pm. Medication had failed, and symptoms worsened. Walker complained of near-constant heart palpitations, vertigo, and bloating. Walker claims to have not eaten in 4 days despite gnawing hunger.
Walker was admitted to the I.C.U at 12:13am. Patient's small intestine found to be severely malformed; x-ray imaging revealed a large mass of tissue- presumed to have been the remains of the intestine- occupying the space where it once was, in addition to a large body of unidentified fluid.
How Walker was still alive and conscious at this point is unknown.
Walker was prepared for operation, the goal being to reconstruct his intestine and drain the excess fluid. However, shortly after anesthetic was administered, the patient began to convulse on the table; after 30 seconds of thrashing, Walker entered cardiac arrest. Resuscetation attempts were futile. Gregory Walker was confirmed deceased at 12:26am.
Shortly after Walker's death, his body was observed to gradually "liquefy" on the operating table; this process seemed to begin from his intestine, rapidly spreading across his entire body. A biohazard waste bin was wheeled into the room, and the corpse was fully liquefied within the hour.
