Some of the stuff I work on doesn't make the cut so I thought about gathering them up in a single post. So basically it's images I have little or no info about or I've decided that they don't get their own thread, for example, because of low image/content quality, lack of backstory or additional info/knowledge, possibly uninteresting, only one image but not very special. I still do the usual image work including upscaling and color correction as needed, as I prefer to have my content high quality and educational.

Case 1


Fig1.1 Gags used for suffocation.


Fig1.2 Pressure marks on the face and neck due to suffocation.

Spain. No info. Gagging is a form of asphyxia which results from forcing a gag such as rolled up cloth, paper etc. deep in to the mouth or oropharynx. As such asphyxia by gagging is rare in occurrence and usually seen in infants and children as homicidal act or in adults suffering from psychiatric disorder as suicidal form of gagging. As young ones and elder people are easily overpowered due to least resistance offered by them, the homicidal gagging is more common in this age group.

Case 2


Fig2.1 Suffocation suicide with plastic bag.


Fig2.2 Detail of the fastener on the plastic bag used.

Spain. No info. Suffocation by plastic bag is not common. The finding of a body at the scene of death with a plastic bag in situ could be diagnostically valuable to the pathologist. Otherwise the pathologist may be hard put to arrive at a firm opinion as to how the deceased met his/her death.

Case 3


Fig3.1 Man drove his car at speed into a bus.

Penetration of the wrist and chest by a wooden component of a bus seat. The victim drove his car at speed into a bus and part of the resulting debris penetrated his left ventricle. No further info.

Case 4


Fig4.1 Man found dead in steam room 8 hours after death.

Body of a 42-year-old male found dead in the steam room approximately 8 hours after having gone alone to sauna. Blood alcohol concentration 2.3 per mille; urine alcohol concentration 3.2 per mille. Due to the long heat exposure, a ‘parboiled’ appearance with patchy loss of epidermis due to skin slippage was found when the body was recovered and showing postmortem drying of the lesions.

Case 5


Fig5.1 Homicidal cut throat.

Homicidal cut throat. No further info.
Cut throats can be homicidal, suicidal or accidental. Homicidal cut-throats are a well-recognized method of killing while suicidal cut throats are less commonly reported and accidental cut throats are rare. The forensic pathologists have a challenging and important task when ascertaining the manner of death when cut throats are presented with no proper history or witnesses. It was highlighted in the OJ Simpson case too, where the body of OJ Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole was found dead with her throat cut.

Accidental cut throats are exceptionally rare. They are usually seen only when a victim goes through a sheet of glass or is struck in the neck by a sharp-edged missile or flying piece of glass. Homicidal cut throats can be produced in two different ways; depending on whether they are produced from the back or the front. Of those two methods, cutting a person’s throat from behind is the most common. The head is pulled back, and the knife is then drawn across it. The knife is drawn across the neck, from left to right by a right-handed assailant and from right to left by a left-handed individual. The wound inflicted deepening at the beginning and then tails off at the opposite side of the neck.

The homicidal cut throat injuries inflicted from behind are usually longer. They usually starts below the ear, runs obliquely downward and medially, then straight across the midline of the neck, and ends on the opposite side of the neck, lower than its point of origination. The length of time it takes to die following an incised wound of the neck depends on several factors. They include whether the venous or arterial systems are severed and whether there is air embolism. In some instances, victims with single carotid artery cut have moved for about 10 minutes.

I bet the steamed man skin slippage was exacerbated from moving him.
I bet it smelled of ham
Cool post

A dude was cooked.

Another fascinating post - I'd heard of several cases of people dying in steam rooms/ saunas, but never seen photos before.
Thanks Herman.
