Doctor Cushing

Doctor Cushing was a scientist and med student who worked at a university alongside Doctor Sedgewick and Doctor Mendell. He became interested in Mendell's research into the secrets of life and death and was intrigued by the older man's experiments in attempting to reanimate the dead via electricity. Cushing prodded Mendell into putting his theories to the test and they conducted an experiment to revive a medical cadaver. The man awakened and they learned that in life he was a convicted murderer named Amos Duncan. Cushing was the first to suggest destroying Duncan before he could escape and continue his murderous ways. The others wanted no part of it, but understood that Cushing was right. As it turned however, Amos Duncan turned the tables on them, murdering Doctor Mendell and attacking Cushing and Sedgewick. Whether Cushing survived the madman's attack is unknown.
