Well, I have no inside info, and they leave us these clues, intentionally. Consider the bawdy jokes in the actors' names for the gay nightclub hoax:

Victim

Angel Colon:

Angel- gay male who practices anal sex; esp. a pederast (Wiktionary.org)

Colon- organ often afflicted by anal sex

Doctors

Chadwick Smith: trauma surgeon

Chad- disparaging slang for cocky promiscuous young white male

Wick- slang for penis

Smith- a worker of a specific thing, in this case a "wick" smith

Gary Parrish: Medical Director of the ED

Gary- no "r" makes Gay

Parrish- homo-nym of perish

ED- erectile dysfunction

And one name for the duping, though there is a "wood" allusion,

Michael Cheatham: Chief of Surgical Quality

Michael- godlike; "taking the Michael" is to make fun of or mock

Cheatham- cheat 'em

or, Cheatham- Celtic "wood" and Old Eng "home or village;" derived from Cheetham near Manchester. Remember the cute and happy Keep Orlando Dancing Challenge video the Sheriff's Department made soon after the "tragic shooting" in which so many "died"? Reminds of choreographed Village People dancing on graves.

And, of course, the nightclub name "Pulse":

Pulse- throb, etc.

Seems like a stretch, but not if you look at all of the names (and numbers) involved in these staged hoaxes and aftermaths. The scriptwriters enjoy the puzzle-making.

The post above put line spaces everywhere and made it even longer than need be. I can't see the last part on my monitor, so will repost it:
