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 Suicide with a shotgun to the head.


Fig1.2 Tears on the scalp from the shotgun blast.

This individual committed suicide with a shotgun to the head, no further info. In the head, neck, and limbs, shotgun exit wounds can be ragged and very large, with extensive tissue damage. In a suicide where the gun has been placed in the mouth, there will be significant disruption of the head, and brain may be expelled, the so-called “burst head” effect.

Case 2


Fig2.1 Marbling on the face and torso.


Fig2.2 Ligature mark from the hanging.

The individual in the pictures committed suicide by hanging. Marbling is a common finding usually found after at least 24 h since death occurred and is a red, green, and black discoloration that follows the vessels of the body due to the breakdown of hemoglobin. Marbling occurs when certain types of bacteria found in the abdomen “migrate” to the blood vessels, causing them to assume a purple-greenish tint. This effect gives the skin on some body parts — usually the trunk, legs, and arms — the appearance of marble (hence its name).

Case 3


Fig3.1 Purging of putrefactive fluid from the nose and mouth.

Marked swelling of the face. Note also purging of putrefactive fluid. It is easily understood from this photograph that visual identification of a deceased is rendered difficult in an advanced state of putrefaction.

Putrefaction begins immediately upon death and usually becomes noticeable within 24 hours. As soon as death occurs, the bacteria or microorganisms within the intestinal tract escape from the bowel into the other tissues of the body. As they grow, they begin to produce gases and other properties that distort and discolor the tissues of the body. The discoloration is a dark greenish combination of colors and is generally pronounced within 36 hours. As a result, the body begins to swell from the putrefactive gases, emitting an extremely repugnant odor.

Case 4


Fig4.1 Bulging eyes and face with protrusion of the tongue.

Note the bulging eyes and face with protrusion of the tongue on this decomposing individual, all related to the decomposition process. No further info about this case.

Decomposition, or putrefaction, is a combination of two processes: autolysis and bacterial action. Autolysis is the breakdown of cells and organs through an aseptic chemical process caused by intracellular enzymes. Because it is a chemical process, it is accelerated by heat, slowed by cold, and stopped by freezing. Bacterial action results in the conversion of soft tissues in the body to liquids and gases. The chemicals produced as a result of putrefaction are cadaverine and putrescine, hydrogen sulfide and other sulfides, which generate a horrible smell.

Case 5


Fig5.1 Body of a woman was found in an abandoned house.


Fig5.2


Fig5.3


Fig5.4

The body of a woman was found in an abandoned house. The body was in a state of putrefaction. No further info.

Case 6


Fig6.1 Decomposed body of a man was found in a field.


Fig6.2


Fig6.3

The decomposed body of a man was found in a field, no further info. Mummification occurs in hot, dry environments. The body dehydrates and bacterial proliferation may be minimal. The skin becomes dark, dried, and leathery. The process occurs readily in the fingers and toes in dry environments, regardless of the temperature. Most mummified bodies are found in the summer months or in hot, dry climates. Mummification can occur in the winter indoors, especially if the heat is turned up, creating a hot, low-humidity environment. It is possible for an entire body to mummify in only a few days to weeks in the right conditions. Once a body is in this state, it can remain preserved for many years.

Holly shit the maggots on that lady is so gnarly Jesus Christ why even take a pic from that angle

[ride]

You're starting off 2024 with a Bang, and a Hang, Herman! Great work as always!

[FukADuk]

Great job as always, Herm!

[Bastet]

An efficient starting Shock for this year God damn I'm never going to get over that maggotty vagina in case #5! Case #2 reminds me of the Travis Alexander death pic and the first one is particularly forceful. It almost hurts to look at his injuries, his face is basically just one gory cave.

[Karma]

One of the best yet. Every single pic is captivating in a gnarly way. I love gnarly.

[KinzxleighRheighfyl]

Oof, from a distance the woman in case 5 looks like she's wearing pantyhose. I very very briefly wondered how her torso and head could be so putrefied but her legs and crotch look so - oh.
- oh dear.

[Ozymandias]

yeah, this set is particularly disgusting!!! it's worse when you imagine them hobbling toward you like zombies...

[Mecrupulent]

Case 5 : I'd hit her.

OK, it has been said, I sacrificed myself so now we can move on with the next joke.

Fantastic set Herman !

[Bananamanize]

That snatch is almost as bad as my ex
