Der var et stort sår tværs over halsen, hvorfra der var kraftig blødning hen mod badeværelsesristen. Den dræbte var iført underbukser, to undertrøjer og skjorte. Dern tilkaldte praktiserende læge erklærede den fundne mand død og genkendte ham som sin patient, Jens, en 81-årig svækket, sukkersyg mand.
