This Man Was a Passenger in a Car That Crashed and He Later Died
This 31-year-old man was a passenger in a car that crashed. He died 6 hours after the accident, following the determination that brain death had occurred. There is a bilateral accumulation of blood within the loose connective tissue of the subgaleal space in the scalp (subgaleal hematoma). In figure 1, a ventriculostomy shunt emanates from the left side of the scalp. Ventriculostomy is a neurosurgical procedure that involves creating a hole (stoma) within a cerebral ventricle for drainage. In medicine, a shunt is a hole or a small passage that moves or allows the movement of fluid from one part of the body to another. No skull fractures are identified.  A large subdural hematoma measuring nearly 100 milliliters covers the left cerebral hemisphere. A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a common neurosurgical disorder that often requires surgical intervention. It is a type of intracranial hemorrhage that occurs beneath the dura (essentially, a collection of blood over the surface of the brain) and may be associated with other brain injuries. - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.

As soon as I saw that photo, I knew what did him in.

As a graduate of the Colombian School of Forensic Science and Plumbing, I am pretty sure he died from choking on a marshmallow.
