Shownotes Transcript

2006 - Cranston, Rhode Island.

Shawn O’Brien was the life of the party. Despite the trouble that he'd occasionally get into, he had the luck of the Irish, and would often emerge unscathed... until one hot summer night in 2006, when everything changed...

Paramedics arrived to his basement apartment on a call for a seizure, something Shawn occasionally suffered from. According to accounts, he had been seizing for over an hour, making this a life threatening situation that ultimately took his life.

But things just didn't add up, and questions swirled around the circumstances of Shawn's death. If Shawn died from a seizure, why was the medical examiner saying that his death was caused by blunt force trauma? And why won't the police rule it a homicide?

16 years later, his daughter, Natalia St. Louis has set out to fulfill a promise she made to herself as a girl: to find out the truth about what happened to her father.

This is part one of the unexplained death of Shawn O'Brien.
