Murder Details

Upon finally figuring out where Dr. Ackroyd was hiding after his escape, Lt. Brian Thatcher and the player pursued the mad scientist in the underground laboratory, where they found Dr. Ackroyd violently convulsing and foaming out of his gas mask.

According to Dr. Graham Fraser, the cause of death was inhalation of poisonous mushroom spores coming from the Armageddon mushroom. It was determined that the killer lined mushroom spores in Dr. Ackroyd's gas mask so that, as be is performing experiments in the laboratory, he would inhale the spores, shutting down his nervous system. Dr. Fraser added that handling the mushroom is quite risky and, as the situation indicates, the killer knows how to handle such fungus. So, this determined that the killer is a HAZCHEM (hazardous chemical) expert.

Killer and Motive

Dr. Julian Ackroyd's killer turned out to be Vic Gallegos, street gang leader Chico Gallegos' younger brother.
