Murder...
has struck Equestria. Oh, do forgive me! I'm Twilight Sparkle, here to brief you on the situation before you join in. As you may or may not know, our dearly loved Zecora was found struck down within her own Everfree home. I'll let the file explain the rest of the situation, but it's not pretty. Not pretty at all.
Art is not mine. This is PG-13.

Cause of Death: See coroner's report.
Evidence: The following were found at the scene: a large pink bow, a large scattering of Poison Joke, an orange feather, purple hair, and a calendar with the date April 1st circled in red.

She appears to have died of an overdose of Poison Joke, which is toxic when ingested in the smallest amounts or when breathed in for too long. We'd typically assume this was a slip-up, but she's the town witch doctor. She doesn't slip up.

So you see? We have quite the problem on our hooves. While murders are uncommon, they aren't unheard of. If anything, this is shocking because there's never been a murder in Ponyville. Usually they hit Fillydelphia, Las Pegasus, or Trottingham on occasion. The ponies of Ponyville won't be able to help much with the case, but we've been grilling the Cutie Mark Crusaders incessantly all day. Maybe the ponies that live near the Everfree can help though. We're still uncertain on the process,b ut we appreciate any help we can get!
