Re: Postmortem Changes and Time of Death
Great post after looking at these photos and decomposition photos, it triggers memory of the Scott Peterson case where Laci Peterson badly decomposed body was found in April, disappeared Dec. Thats nearly 3.5 months and they say that her body was badly decomposed but to this day i am still baffled how a fetus would float to the bay shore intact or even remain intact. I am not a guilty or not guilty participant, its just the time she disappeared she was 32 weeks pregnant, and we are expected to believe that a fetus stayed in the uterus the whole time until the day they found it on the shore being called coffin birth. Not trying to rehash an old case, but can anyone explain why the fetus would be in the condition it is in 4 months later extract from http://www.findlaci2003.us/prelim-da...sy-conner.html When Judge Al Girolami asked Peterson if it was his desire to leave the courtroom during that section, he replied: “Yes, I do not wish to be present during this witness.” His parents, Lee and Jackie Peterson, remained in the courtroom. Laci Peterson’s remains were severely decomposed. Her head, hands, feet and part of her lower left leg were missing, Brian Peterson testified. He said there was no sign of cuts or bullet wounds. And testified that the water had washed away any evidence of how Laci was killed by the time her body was found. He said he could not determine if three of her ribs were broken before or after she was killed. The coroner ruled the death a homicide, but did not offer a cause. Almost all major internal organs were gone, leaving the torso skeletal, Brian Peterson said. The only internal organ that remained was the uterus, still attached to her empty midsection after months in the water, he said, adding that there were no indications it had been cut. “My belief is that (the) uterus was intact at the time this body was deposited in the water,” Brian Peterson said. “I believe Conner was in that uterus.” He also said there was “no signs” of a vaginal birth. But under cross examination by Geragos, Brian Peterson said he could not rule out that Conner Peterson had been born alive. His remains showed considerably less decomposition than hers, a phenomenon Brian Peterson said could be attributed to the baby’s body remaining protected inside the womb until a few days before it was found. There was ¼-inch of umbilical cord attached to the fetus. The end was tattered and frayed, which is consistent with tearing but not cutting, Brian Peterson said. In his report, Brian Peterson indicated that Conner appeared to be nine months old at the time of death. A forensic anthropologist who examined the remains later and measured bones estimated the age at between 34 to 40 weeks, with most bones estimated at being 35 weeks old or higher, Brian Peterson said. Geragos also pointed to a bag found with duct tape attached to it in “the vicinity” of the bodies. The remains were found in April just over a mile apart along the bay’s eastern shoreline. ... is it possible for this to happen? anyone in here with the knowledge and expertise to back this up? how is it possible for a fetus to remain in the uterus this whole time how is it possible for a fragile fetus who has been dead for approx 12-14 weeks can be intact enough to float ashore, over a rocky bay mind you... how is it possible say coffin birth did happen that the fetus floated for 2 days to be found on a rocky shore you guys may have been through all this in the past, sorry about that, but nearly 12 years later, the fetus scenario still intrigues me would love some replies that can put this to rest for me ta marls |
