so when this this body this skull was Unearthed by a bobcat correct heavy Earth moving equipment yesh and what
00:00:11
does that do to a body you expect it to shatter the skull of it that was exactly
00:00:16
the issue what I had to try and determine was were all of these fractures caused by the bobcat in which
00:00:23
case there have no real significance as far as the the trial is concerned or are
00:00:30
some of these uh fractures what I say what I call perimortem meaning that they happened when the person was alive but
00:00:37
just shortly before death in other words you're really trying to figure out the cause of death exactly so it was quite
00:00:44
challenging I mean when had to try and uh sort out from all of these fractures which if any could have been did occur
00:00:53
at the time of death and could have therefore been responsible for causing death when you say that those fractures
00:01:01
occurred when the person was alive are you saying those are the fractures that killed this person yes I believe so
00:01:06
based on the skull at least the skull is the only part of the body that was available for this evaluation so from my
00:01:14
perspective at least we'll never know what injuries if any were present in the rest of the body but at least as far as
00:01:20
the head was concerned I was able to conclude that there had been at least three impacts to this head while the
00:01:29
person was alive
