Heart rate slows until virtually undetectable.I then took them aside told them what had happened, how their character could see and hear everything but could do nothing and when we came back in handed them the rulebook and asked them to start making a new character.So while they are making the character I go on to describe the party finding the body the paramedics arriving. The trip to the hospital and being declare DOA and taken to the morgue and put in a tray. The rest of the party carry on with the investigation.  While  they are doing that the company they are working for orders an autopsy as other execs had been killed then came back as zombies.Kept taking that player outside “to work out how we would work his new character into the campaign“ but actually to describe how the fridge was open plan inside and he could sense the cold and ther other corpse around him, how they were discussing the planned autopsy, etc.The other players discover the nature of tetrodotoxin just as I am describing the start of the Y Incision.</blockquote>
