So the medicine were insulin injections, right? Was there something wrong with: the dosing? The syringe/needle? Were there any other people involved? Was Tom's death a mistake? Murder? Suicide? | ||

Was he given a different medicine? Or too much/little of insulin? Did they mess up the administration by giving him the medicine orally (instead of intravenously)? | ||

Alhucema So NOTHING was injected/inserted in his body, right? Yes, right Was the insulin the cause of his death? That and... Dif he actually die from: blunt trauma? YES! this Shez did the vehicle which delivered it run into him? Yes it did! Here's the .. ***** SPOILER ***** Tommy was on his way to purchase the insulin that would save his life when he was flattened by a delivery truck, which happened to be transporting insulin. This puzzle comes comedian George Carlin's description of irony, the direct quote: If a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is killed by a runaway truck, he is the victim of an accident. If the truck was delivering sugar, he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck was delivering insulin, ah! Then he is the victim of an irony. Thanks all for playing! | ||
