Santa's Slay

What happened?

Jackson Walker attended his department's holiday party and Secret Santa gift exchange on Thursday, and then he called in sick on Friday.

When he didn't show up or call on Monday, a co-worker went to check on him and found him dead.

Was this 29-year-old, generally healthy man sicker than anyone realized, or did someone make sure he didn't live to see Christmas?
