Clinical Summary

A forensic pathologist forwarded the brain of a 56-year-old man who ran a rural tavern in upstate New York. The neuropathological interest arose from the patient’s cognitive problem: He failed to record the sales of drinks at his bar. The forensic pathologist did not supply the forensic reason or the cause of death.
