Briscoe and Green investigate a socialite who fell into an insulin-induced coma, even though she’s not diabetic. David Moore says he was helping her commit suicide, but the detectives learn the couple are part of a group who get off on a kink called “necrophilia without tears.” Moore injects his wife with insulin to paralyze her so he can have sex with her frozen body.

McCoy and Carmichael charge the husband with attempted murder, but become suspicious of Mrs. Moore’s step-daughter and her doctor (John Slattery). In a plot to take her fortune, they’d been spiking the insulin with another drug to convince her she was dying and should end her own suffering.  

We’re talking about Law & Order season 10 episode 23 “Stiff.” Our guest from this May 8, 2019 episode is Dr. Kelly Jones from the Still Pretty and Awegasm podcasts.

This episode is inspired by the case of Claus and Sunny von Bülow.
