The Autopsy of Ray Palmer.
The Atom has been found dead. An apparent suicide.
This news has cast a pall over the Watchtower. Ray Palmer was a well-respected, much-beloved friend to most everyone in the Justice League, and one of their most dependable, capable members. Which makes it all the more important to discover the real truth behind what has happened here.
Dr. Mid-Nite had been planning to take a much-needed respite from cape business, but this was a calling he would not dream of ducking. After losing Secret, and now Dr. Palmer... there's a sense of dread he knows he cannot run from.
The most curious circumstance is that, while most evidence points to Dr. Palmer being distraught, profoundly affected by the corruption and insanity of the love of his life, Jean Loring, and thus perhaps predisposed to this sort of rash action... things are not adding up.
"No signs of any sort of struggle."
