DECEDENT Victim’s remains were found in an abandoned rectory near a cathedral. The
decedent may have been a vagrant who found shelter in the basement of the
condemned building. It’s clear from the damage sustained by the torso that
a witness was involved either prior to, or immediately following, the time
of death.
EXTERNAL EXAMINATION
NOTES Due to the delicate condition of the victim’s remains, Detective Richards photographed and
then refrigerated the body parts at a temperature of 35 degrees Fahrenheit to preserve the
tissue for further examination. The autopsy commenced on December 26, 2013, at 11:30 A.M. and
lasted for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes of exposure to the air, the remains rapidly NOTES
disintegrated, exposing the bone. Up to that point, there was no evidence to indicate that the
victim’s remains would decompose in such a manner. As such, it’s difficult to estimate the true
time and date of death.
The victim’s clothes� are a pair of denim blue jeans, white tube socks, grey hooded sweatshirt,
T-shirt, and red tennis shoes �were found folded in a pile next to the body’s torso. The gar-
ments are odorless and do not appear to be stained. It is likely that these clothes were re-
moved prior to the victim’s death. The clothing accompanied the victim’s remains, and will be
shipped to the crime lab for further analysis pending the conclusion of this report.

The victim’s epidermis was present at the start of the autopsy. The skin was bluish in col-
or. The torso was marked by eight scars ranging from 0.25 inches to 2 inches in length. Upon
closer scrutiny, there is evidence that the victim may have participated in cosmetic scarring
or tattooing that affected the dermis. Markings are spread out over an eight inch by two inch

INTERNAL EXAMINATION
The laceration at the top of the torso has a strong odor that smells sulphurous; the head is
missing. A jagged instrument may have detached the head from the top of the spine. Upon open-
ing the chest cavity, the lungs were found to be filled with a clear liquid. The heart, liver,
and kidneys had been surgically removed. Recommend a chemical analysis of the substance pend-
