This is the last installment in my eight-part Crime Scene investigation adventure. I hope you enjoyed following me as I played the role of an investigator. If you don't have the opportunity to visit the exhibit, check out CSI: The Experience - Web Adventures.
My last stop was the autopsy room, where projections light up the appropriate areas on a white cadaver laid on a slab while a doctor narrates from a flat screen above.
An autopsy is also called a post-mortem examination, and is performed by a medical examiner to establish the cause and manner of death. The word autopsy is derived from the Greek work autopsia meaning seeing for oneself.
In this instance, the medical examiner's autopsy findings included contents of stomach, large area of bone fractures on the side and back of head, and the cause of death - blunt force trauma! This is not consistent with an injury sustained from the forward forces of hitting a windshield.
This crime scene had been staged to look like a car accident when it was really a murder. But who done it? To find out, click here (don't look if you are going to the exhibit!).
