HOW DID THE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION DIE?

In 1845, John Franklin wanted to find a way by sea from Europe to China, via Alaska.

But this expedition mysteryously lost the way and mysteryously died. The doctors in 1846 didn't find the reasons for their death. Using modern forensic science, we could learn more about the events that to the disaster by examining the bodies of these saliors. The men were being poisoned by a relatively new invention: conned food. Lead was conataminating the food and poisoning the men. However the doctors in 1846 would have no way of knowing this.
