Victim's Wallet

The victim’s wallet is pulled from his pocket by Green, who flips it open in front of the Doctor, Governor Summers, and Kettering. Though its contents are not revealed, the act of checking it underscores the institutional need to identify the victim and potentially uncover any pre-existing medical conditions that might explain his death. The wallet serves as a tangible clue that contradicts Kettering’s dismissive explanation, hinting at the possibility of an unknown history or external factors contributing to the death. Its presence reinforces the Doctor’s insistence on a post-mortem, as it may hold additional evidence.

The victim’s wallet, pulled from his pocket by Green, serves as a tangible clue that undermines Kettering’s heart attack explanation.

The wallet is a small but critical object, representing the first step toward uncovering the truth about the victim’s death and, by extension, the Keller Machine’s dangers.
