On one hand, the hospital is conducting an inquiry into Sam McCall and Dex's deaths, as Monday's General Hospital episode revealed. Both the deaths are post-operative and unexpected.

While Sam's heart arrest happened due to Digitalis in her blood, Dex's toxicology report is awaited in the upcoming episodes. As the hospital looks into the surveillance camera footage, they are likely to find discrepancies and unexpected movements.

On the other hand, Anna Devane and the Port Charles Police Department will probe and inspect all evidence surrounding Dex's daytime stabbing near Rice Plaza. Both the hospital and police investigations are expected to find some common threads leading to the main culprit.

As of now, ex-mobster Cyrus Renault seems to be the assailant, since he killed Sam with a dose of Digitalis in her IV bag. Rookie cop Dex Heller, has questioned Cyrus about his presence at the hospital during Halloween. Dex would have been able to put the time of Cyrus's presence with Sam's death and reach the truth. As such, Cyrus has likely silenced the cop before he could endanger him.

While the mystery of Dex's death is yet to be unravelled, Anna and Joss would dig into it till they get answers. Stay tuned to ABC to catch the upcoming episodes as Dex's murder is investigated on General Hospital.
