Excuse me, Madame...
1:19:22
Hello.
1:19:23
I'm here to see Officer Caron.
1:19:25
- Your name?
- Mrs. Drillon.

1:19:29
The last room to the left.
1:19:31
Thank you.
1:19:33
What you are about to hear
is very difficult.

1:19:36
You can stop us at any time.
1:19:41
No, I want to know everything.
1:19:44
According to my autopsy
the day after we recovered the body,

1:19:49
it seems your husband
drowned by simple submersion,

1:19:53
a drowning where the lungs
fill with water,

1:19:56
undoubtedly caused
by a strong undertow,

1:19:58
and the resulting muscle fatigue
as he tried to fight it.

1:20:03
As you can imagine,
1:20:05
we were unable to identify
the body from the photos

1:20:08
you gave us.
1:20:10
The body was submerged
for too long.

1:20:13
It is in a state
of advanced putrefaction.

1:20:18
Meaning?
1:20:21
Putrefaction causes
the skin to turn greenish,

1:20:24
and the body and head
of the cadaver to swell.

1:20:29
The process accelerates
when the body is exposed to air

1:20:32
after having been submerged
in water, as in this case.

1:20:36
Morphological identification
is thus impossible.

1:20:44
The test confirms
a genetic link between the body

1:20:47
and your mother-in-law,
Suzanne Drillon.

1:20:51
As for the odontological tests,
it appears that

1:20:55
the x-rays we've taken match up
1:20:58
with the dental records
provided by his dentist.
