The body of a 41-year-old male is found
caught on the rocks of a slow-flowing
river. The body is lying on its right
side. The decedent is fully clothed,
including shoes. There is obvious
evidence of external trauma to the
body, consisting of facial
lacerations. No evidence of blood is
found on the rocks. The portion of the
face and head in the water do not
demonstrate any evidence of bleeding,
however a minimal amount of blood is
found in the right external ear
canal. Upon examination in the
morgue, obvious facial fractures are
found on x-ray and grossly. A faint fern-
like discoloration is also noted over the
superior aspects of the anterior chest.
a) What possibilities exist that would
account for this patients death?
b) What further findings do
might be found at autopsy?
