[edit] Career

One of the first cases Garavaglia worked on as a medical examiner was The Morning Glory case, in which thirty-six bodies - many in advanced stages of decomposition - were found in a funeral home. After several caskets that the funeral director had buried were exhumed, Garavaglia determined that the director had placed multiple persons in single caskets, and pocketed the money he received.
