Analysis of stomach contents:
Inside Anna Garcia's stomach were starch, protein, glucose, and lipids.
These were all found inside Anna Garcia's stomach contents.
These things could give clues about her cause of death because she had
a decent amount of sugar in her system from the cookies we know she
ate.
