A Manhattan forensic pathologist revealed crucial details during the trial of a man accused of causing the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car. Dr. Cynthia Harris from the City Medical Examiner’s Office conducted the autopsy on Neely and determined that his cause of death was asphyxiation from compression to his neck.
Dr. Harris disclosed that Neely had synthetic drugs, specifically a synthetic cannabinoid, in his system at the time of his death. She explained that synthetic cannabinoids are potent stimulants, similar to cocaine, and can have adverse effects on the body.
