The Compounding Effect of Two Events on John's Death

Two weeks earlier, he had been shot in the head. Then when he was then beaten in the head, gosh, this guy really took it. He's very thick headed. Not thick enough. No, between a bullet not penetrating into the skull and then a steel cane not crushing the skull. And so in essence, now you've got whoever fired the gun as being somebody who could be arrested and charged with murder. If you found the prefix a different person who hit him with the king, you could also hit that person up for murder. It seems to me that the pathologist would likely start to add this up and say, well, this is a compounding effect.
