However, there was no sign of blood on the rocky surface around which the body was discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HOW INJURY OCCURRED: Subject overdosed drugs and hit the head on a rocky surface<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Name: Joseph Austin Case Number: 56787<\/td><td>POST MORTEM EXAMINATION REPORT OFFICE OF THE CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER STATE OF MARYLAND &nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A partial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rwkgoodman.com\/info-hub\/post-mortem-examinations-and-inquests-what-you-need-to-know\/\">autopsy<\/a> was performed on the body of John Michael Philips at the office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the state of Maryland on the 18th day of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>POST MORTEM EXAMINATION: EXTERNAL EXAMINATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decedent was wearing a pair of blue trousers 34 in size, a size large white t-shirt, 10 in size medium white athletic pair of shoes with stripes blue in color and also no any pair of socks. The decedents possessed gold in color Citizen Wristwatch, one beaded necklace, several textile type costume jewelry, and single silver in color ring on the ring finger. This post mortem examination shows that the decedent was also carrying a large amount of cash $117 (5 $20 bills, 1$ 10 bills and 7 $1bills). He also had in possession $1.45 (4 quarter, 3 nickels and about 3 dimes). Apart from the clothing, every other belonging was taken away by the fatality detective who was assigned the sight by the medical examiner\u2019s office and submitted later to the law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EVIDENCE OF THE INJURY FROM POST MORTEM EXAMINATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Drug overdose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim had needle by the hand clear evidence that he had overdosed on drugs causing the victim to collapse. The decedent had multiple contusions and also the face and scalp had lacerations presenting another version of this case to the police department since it looked like a staged scene. The cause of death was treated as suspicious since the appearance of the head injuries seemed to have been caused by a much harder surface. This post mortem examination shows the decedent had also no injuries to the back except for the head. The decedent had all white and natural teeth. No wounds on any body part or any surgical cuts either on the head or other body parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>POST MORTEM EXAMINATION: INTERNAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>BODY CAVITIES:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim\u2019s body was opened by an incision in the head and in the stomach. This post mortem examination shows that the body had no adhesions but abnormal body fluids which were observed in the blood vessels a clear indication that the victim had an overdose. Writers who offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edudorm.com\/edudorm-services\/assignment-services\/nursing-medicine\/nursing-assignment-help\">nursing assignment help<\/a> at Edudorm essay writing service notes that drugs such as the cocaine are known to cause some psychotic behaviors; they also cause seizures and death due to taking an overdose of the same drug (D\u00fcrsteler, 2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>HEAD:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scalp and face had lacerations and also multiple contusions presenting a diversion about the decedent having an overdose only. It can be explained that the victim may have experienced a brain damage forcing the decedent to hit the head on a very hard surface. This post mortem examination shows that the skull was broken and a blood clot was observed in the back of the head as a result of the skull injury that seemed to be very severe. The damage on the head and also the face even remain unrecognizable to determine the age of the individual since these body parts are damaged beyond recognition (D\u00fcrsteler, 2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>POST MORTEM EXAMINATION: PATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Drug overdose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This post mortem examination shows that the decedent had a needle by the hand: this appears that the victim injected himself with an overdose therefore causing the brain damage and thereby the cause of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Injury to: skull and scalp therefore to the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>OPINION:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This middle aged individual appears to be a middle-class living status person due to the items, jewelry and the money found with him. He died of the drug overdose and also damage to the skull causing the brain damage.
