Hands and feet were severed from their corresponding limbs. These lacerations also emit an
odor that smells of musk and urine. The markings on the wrists and ankles suggest that a
different instrument detached these parts. Both hands are also missing. A closer inspection of
the wounds indicates that these injuries were sustained post-mortem.
Toxicology: Pending collection of fluids in a temperature-controlled environment.
Evidence Collected:
1. One (1) grey hooded sweatshirt, size X-Large.
2. One (1) pair denim jeans, size 38
3. One (1) Iron Man T-shirt, size X-Large.
4. One (1) pair of white tube socks, size L
5. One (1) pair of red tennis shoes, size 12
6. Thirty (30) swabs from separate locations. Test for pneumonia, lead poisoning, and presence
of sulfur.
7. Twenty-five (25) autopsy photographs.
OPINIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Time of Death: Inconclusive due to the body temperature and condition of the remains.
Immediate Cause of Death: Inconclusive
Manner of Death: Homicide
NOTES NOTES clear from the damage sustained by the torso that a witness was involved either prior to, or
Remarks: 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
immediately following, the time of death.
The witness likely removed the victim’s clothing after death with the intent to retrieve or
dispose of the garments at a later date. The head, hands, and feet were then sawed off to pre-
vent identification of the body and tie the victim to identity of the witness. The deteriora-
tion of the epidermis and dermis is likely due to the witness’ attempt to get rid of the body.
These findings have been reported to Detective Anne Richards. Recommend further investigation
pending the results of the toxicology report.
