''Louie St. Denis'', a freelance electrician known to travel across state lines for temporary work, was reported missing approximately three weeks prior to his death. Last confirmed sighting occurred at a gas station located 25 miles southeast of ''Prospector Ridge''. He was described as lucid but agitated, complaining of “voices telling him to come back”, tasting “ash in his mouth”, and feeling “humming in his teeth,” per the station attendant’s statement. No further sightings were recorded until his discovery.
Mr. St. Denis was found unconscious on the side of an unmarked maintenance road by a pair of hikers. His body was exposed to direct sun, showing evidence of acute sunburn and dehydration. Despite presumed prolonged exposure, he was still alive—barely—displaying a dangerously high fever (recorded at 107.6°F), full-body muscle rigidity, severe tremors, photophobia, and an unresponsive blinking reflex. He was unable to speak clearly, except for repeated phrases consisting of “█████ ███████,” and “█████ ██ █████.”
He was transported to Ridge County Medical Center, where emergency staff noted his skin remained cool and unusually firm despite the fever. IV fluids were administered, and antipyretics had little effect. EEG scans revealed erratic neural activity with frequent surges inconsistent with known seizure patterns. Reflexes were non-existent. Pupil dilation was unresponsive to light. His condition rapidly declined over the following six hours.
Mr. St. Denis went into cardiac arrest at 12:01 AM. Resuscitation attempts failed. Official time of death was recorded as such. The body was transferred to the Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy.]

Despite death occurring three weeks since this file was written, the body ''has not decomposed'' in any conventional manner. There has not been any bloating, discoloration, or odor. Autopsy reveals internal organs remain suspended in a semi-stable state, suggesting complete cellular stasis or unknown preservation process. External appearance mimics a recent death—raising serious questions regarding time of death accuracy.
Clinical presentation is consistent with at least four previously recorded cases categorized under the Ridge Fever classification, neurological symptoms, including photophobia, muscular rigidity, and atypical neural oscillation patterns, are nearly identical to subject profiles RF-1304-06A, RF-1304-09D, and RF-1304-12A.]
