While conducting the autopsy of a construction worker who tragically fell to his death, Quincy notices several peculiar irregularities. He asks Sam to perform additional tests to uncover any factors that might have caused the fall. The findings reveal that the worker died from a significant exposure to pesticides, which were present on the tomatoes he had eaten for lunch. Further investigations uncover that a nearby dumpsite in Rosewood is leaking, contaminating the soil around the area with harmful chemicals.
