Da Vinci’s Inquest - Season 6 Episode 8

The dead body of Robert Camden is found on the rocks offshore of Stanley Park. Da Vinci and the cops' first inclination is that his death is related to the fact that they are near a known gay stroll. Local reporter, Josh Warner, feeds the fire as he tells Da Vinci that the previous night, the police questioned but let go a bunch of rowdies in the area who were uttering gay slurs. The trail runs cold after speaking to all the known witnesses. But feathers are ruffled when the press runs with speculative stories. Kosmo and Leary investigate the death of a man on the top level of a double decker sightseeing bus. They learn he is Valery Titov, a pickpocket who looked like he was on the bus working. The autopsy discovers that he died swallowing a razor blade. Taylor tells them that the razor blade is a old pickpocketer's trick to cut purse straps. A witness also states that he saw Titov get assaulted on the bus, which may explain how he swallowed the razor. A necklace with a man-made stone stolen by Titov may lead them back to who assaulted and therefore killed Titov. And Da Vinci's wanted inquest on Darcy Charles' death faces a major obstacle when his only witness, Joan Hanes, is found dead of a drug overdose. But his run for the Police of Chief job gets a boost when McNab tells him of some skeletons in the closet of Lenny Banks, one of his chief competitors.
