Warren Commission Report

__ From The Warren Commission Report pgs 8 and 9 "Shortly before 1 p.m. Capt. J. Will Fritz, chief of the homicide and robbery bureau of the Dallas Police Department, arrived to take charge of the investigation. Searching the sixth floor, Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney noticed a pile of cartons in the southeast corner. He squeezed through the boxes and realized immediately that he had discovered the point from which the shots had been fired. On the floor were three empty cartridge cases. A carton had apparently been placed on the floor at the side of the window so that a person sitting on the carton could look down Elm Street toward the overpass and scarcely be noticed from the outside. Between this carton and the half-open window were three additional cartons arranged atsuch an angle that a rifle resting on the top carton would be aimed directly at the motorcade as it moved away from the building. The high stack of boxes, which first attracted Mooney's attention effectively screened a person at the window from the view of anyone else on the floor.Mooney's discovery intensified the search for additional evidence on the sixth floor, and at 1:22 p.m. approximately 10 minutes after the cartridge cases were found, Deputy Sheriff Eugene Boone turned his flashlight in the direction of two rows of boxes in the northwest corner near the staircase. Stuffed between the two rows was a bolt-action rifle with a telescopic sight. The rifle was not touched until it could be photographed. When Lt. J. C. Day of the police identification bureau decided that the wooden stock and the metal knob at the end of the bolt contained no prints, he held the rifle by the stock while Captain Fritz ejected a live shell by operating the bolt. Lieutenant Day promptly noted that stamped on the rifle itself was the serial number "C2766" as well as the markings "1940" "MADE ITALY" and "CAL. 6.5." The rifle was about 40 inches long and when disassembled it could fit into a handmade paper sack which after the assassination, was found in the southeast corner of the building within a few feet of the cartridge cases." __

= Jack Ruby = Jack Ruby was born in 1911. His real name being Jacob Rubenstein. His parents were Polish immigrants, and he grew up in Chicago. As a boy, he ran errands for Al Capone. In 1937-39, Jack Ruby was a "union organizer" and "secretary" for a local branch of the Scrap Iron and Junk Handlers Union in Chicago. During World War II, Jack Ruby served in the U.S. Air Force. After a business venture with his brothers fell through, he left Chicago and moved to Dallas, where he opened up his first nightclub that he named the Silver Spur. In 1957-58, he was running guns to the followers of Fidel Castro, who were fighting to overthrow Batista. In 1959, Jack Ruby went to Havana to try to gain the release of Santos Trafficante, who had been jailed by Castro's government for his role in Mafia gambling and narcotics activities. Trafficante later participated in a CIA plot to kill Castro. During the early 1960s, Jack Ruby helped supply arms to the anti-Castro Cubans. During the 1950s-1963, he ran several nightclubs. At the time of President Kennedy's assassination, he lived in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas. On Nov. 24, 1963, Jack Ruby fatally shot Lee Harvey Oswald once in the abdomen, in the basement of Dallas police headquarters, where he was being transferred to the County Jail. The incident occurred on live television. Ruby had walked down a car ramp to get to the basement, even though the narrow entrance to the car ramp was guarded by a police officer. Oswald died at Parkland Hospital, as doctors tried to save him. In 1964, Jack Ruby was brought to trial for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. In that same year, he was convicted and sentenced to death. In 1966, the judgment of death was reversed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and he was granted a second trial. On January 3, 1967, Jack Ruby died from the effects of galloping lung cancer before his second trial could begin. He claimed that he had been injected with cancer. =Video:= [|www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVfIh-8nXyQ] [|www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSBXW1-VGmM]

Our conspiracy thoughts.
 * We think that there was one shooter- Lee Harvey Oswald.
 * He took 3 shots,from the Texas Book Depository, the first was a miss, the second hit JFK in the back and exited out of his throat and hit Conwal. And the third was the one that hit JFK in the head.
 * We think that the Umbrella Man was involved with Oswald and the shooting, and that he (the Umbrella Man) was a signal for Oswald to shoot.

This is just me but watch this video and then look at the "A Good Theory Diagram" diagram :) ﻿so like are you saying that he wasn't shot from the book depository?? i mean we need to figure this out cuz we need a theory... i still think it was the book depository b/c of the Warren Commision report above. jus

The President was >> sitting in the right rear seat with Mrs. Kennedy seated on the same >> seat to his left. Sitting directly in front of the President was Governor >> John B. Connally of Texas and directly in front of Mrs. Kennedy sat >> Mrs. Connally. The vehicle was moving at a slow rate of speed down >> an incline into an underpass that leads to a freeway route to the >> Dallas Trade Mart where the President was to deliver an address. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Three shots were heard and the President fell forward bleeding from >> the head. (Governor Connally was seriously wounded by the same >> gunfire.) According to newspaper reports ("Washington Post" >> November 23, 1963) Bob Jackson, a Dallas "Times Herald" >> Photographer, said he looked around as he heard the shots and saw a >> rifle barrel disappearing into a window on an upper floor of the >> nearby Texas School Book Depository Building. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Shortly following the wounding of the two men the car was driven to >> Parkland Hospital in Dallas. In the emergency room of that hospital >> the President was attended by Dr. Malcolm Perry. Telephone >> communication with Dr. Perry on November 23, 1963 develops the >> following information relative to the observations made by Dr. Perry >> and procedures performed there prior to death. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Dr. Perry noted the massive wound of the head and a second much >> smaller wound of the low anterior neck in approximately the midline. >> A tracheostomy was performed by extending the latter wound. At this >> point bloody air was noted bubbling from the wound and an injury to >> the right lateral wall of the trachea was observed. Incisions were made >> in the upper anterior chest wall bilaterally to combat possible >> subcutaneous emphysema. Intravenous infusions of blood and saline >> were begun and oxygen was administered. Despite these measures >> cardiac arrest occurred and closed chest cardiac massage failed to >> re-establish cardiac action. The President was pronounced dead >> approximately thirty to forty minutes after receiving his wounds. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The remains were transported via the Presidential plane to >> Washington, D.C. and subsequently to the Naval Medical School, >> National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland for postmortem >> examination. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">General Description of the Body >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The body is that of a muscular, well-developed and well nourished >> adult Caucasian male measuring 72 1/2 inches and weighing >> approximately 170 pounds. There is beginning rigor mortis, minimal >> dependent livor mortis of the dorsum, and early algor mortis. The >> hair is reddish brown and abundant, the eyes are blue, the right pupil >> measuring 8 mm. in diameter, the left 4 mm. There is edema and >> ecchymosis of the inner canthus region of the left eyelid measuring >> approximately 1.5 cm. in greatest diameter. There is edema and >> ecchymosis diffusely over the right supra-orbital ridge with abnormal >> mobility of the underlying bone. (The remainder of the scalp will be >> described with the skull.) There is clotted blood on the external ears >> but otherwise the ears, nares, and mouth are essentially unremarkable. >> The teeth are in excellent repair and there is some pallor of the oral >> mucous membrane. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Situated on the upper right posterior thorax just above the upper >> border of the scapula there is a 7 x 4 millimeter oval wound. This >> wound is measured to be 14 cm. from the tip of the right acromion >> process and 14 cm. below the tip of the right mastoid process. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Situated in the low anterior neck at approximately the level of the >> third and fourth tracheal rings is a 6.5 cm. long transverse wound >> with widely gaping irregular edges. (The depth and character of these >> wounds will be further described below.) <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Situated on the anterior chest wall in the nipple line are bilateral 2 cm. >> long recent transverse surgical incisions into the subcutaneous tissue. >> The one on the left is situated 11 cm. cephalad to the nipple and the >> one on the right 8 cm. cephalad to the nipple. There is no hemorrhage >> or ecchymosis associated with these wounds. A similar clean wound >> measuring 2 cm. in length is situated on the antero-lateral aspect of >> the left mid arm. Situated on the antero-lateral aspect of each ankle is >> a recent 2 cm. transverse incision into the subcutaneous tissue. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">There is an old well healed 8 cm. McBurney abdominal incision. >> Over the lumbar spine in the midline is an old, well healed 15 cm. >> scar. Situated on the upper antero-lateral aspect of the right thigh is >> an old, well healed 8 cm. scar. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Missile Wounds >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">1. There is a large irregular defect of the scalp and skull on the right >> involving chiefly the parietal bone but extending somewhat into the >> temporal and occipital regions. In this region there is an actual >> absence of scalp and bone producing a defect which measures >> approximately 13 cm. in greatest diameter. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">From the irregular margins of the above scalp defect tears extend in >> stellate fashion into the more or less intact scalp as follows: <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">a. From the right inferior temporo-parietal margin anterior to the right >> ear to a point slightly above the tragus. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">b. From the anterior parietal margin anteriorly on the forehead to >> approximately 4 cm. above the right orbital ridge. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">c. From the left margin of the main defect across the midline >> antero-laterally for a distance of approximately 8 cm. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">d. From the same starting point as c. 10 cm. postero-laterally. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Situated in the posterior scalp approximately 2.5 cm. laterally to the >> right and slightly above the external occipital protuberance is a >> lacerated wound measuring 15 x 6 mm. In the underlying bone is a >> corresponding wound through the skull which exhibits beveling of >> the margins of the bone when viewed from the inner aspect of the >> skull. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Clearly visible in the above described large skull defect and exuding >> from it is lacerated brain tissue which on close inspection proves to >> represent the major portion of the right cerebral hemisphere. At this >> point it is noted that the falx cerebri is extensively lacerated with >> disruption of the superior saggital sinus. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Upon reflecting the scalp multiple complete fracture lines are seen to >> radiate from both the large defect at the vertex and the smaller wound >> at the occiput. These vary greatly in length and direction, the longest >> measuring approximately 19 cm. These result in the production of >> numerous fragments which vary in size from a few millimeters to 10 >> cm. in greatest diameter. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The complexity of these fractures and the fragments thus produced >> tax satisfactory verbal description and are better appreciated in >> photographs and roentgenograms which are prepared. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The brain is removed and preserved for further study following >> formalin fixation. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Received as separate specimens from Dallas, Texas are three >> fragments of skull bone which in aggregate roughly approximate the >> dimensions of the large defect described above. At one angle of the >> largest of these fragments is a portion of the perimeter of a roughly >> circular wound presumably of exit which exhibits beveling of the >> outer aspect of the bone and is estimated to measure approximately >> 2.5 to 3.0 cm. in diameter. Roentgenograms of this fragment reveal >> minute particles of metal in the bone at this margin. Roentgenograms >> of the skull reveal multiple minute metallic fragments along a line >> corresponding with a line joining the above described small occipital >> wound and the right supra-orbital ridge. From the surface of the >> disrupted right cerebral cortex two small irregularly shaped >> fragments of metal are recovered. These measure 7 x 2 mm. and 3 x >> 1 mm. These are placed in the custody of Agents Francis X. O'Neill, >> Jr. and James W. Sibert, of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who >> executed a receipt therefor (attached). <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">2. The second wound presumably of entry is that described above in >> the upper right posterior thorax. Beneath the skin there is ecchymosis >> of subcutaneous tissue and musculature. The missile path through >> the fascia and musculature cannot be easily proved. The wound >> presumably of exit was that described by Dr. Malcolm Perry of >> Dallas in the low anterior cervical region. When observed by Dr. >> Perry the wound measured "a few millimeters in diameter", however >> it was extended as a tracheostomy incision and thus its character is >> distorted at the time of autopsy. However there is considerable >> eccymosis of the strap muscles of the right side of the neck and of >> the fascia about the trachea adjacent to the line of the tracheostomy >> wound. The third point of reference in connecting these two wounds >> is in the apex (supra-clavicular portion) of the right pleural cavity. In >> this region there is contusion of the parietal pleura and of the extreme >> apical portion of the right upper lobe of the lung. In both instances >> the diameter of contusion and ecchymosis at the point of maximal >> involvement measures 5 cm. Both the visceral and parietal pleura are >> intact overlying these areas of trauma. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Incisions >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The scalp wounds are extended in the coronal plane to examine the >> cranial content and the customary (Y) shaped incision is used to >> examine the body cavities. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Thoracic Cavity >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The bony cage is unremarkable. The thoracic organs are in their >> normal positions are relationships and there is no increase in free >> pleural fluid. The above described area of contusion in the apical >> portion of the right pleural cavity is noted. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Lungs >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The lungs are of essentially similar appearance the right weighing >> 320 Gm., the left 290 Gm. The lungs are well aerated with smooth >> glistening pleural surfaces and gray-pink color. A 5 cm. diameter >> area of purplish red discoloration and increased firmness to palpation >> is situated in the apical portion of the right upper lobe. This >> corresponds to the similar area described in the overlying parietal >> pleura. Incision in this region reveals recent hemorrhage into >> pulmonary parenchyma. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Heart >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The pericardial cavity is smooth walled and contains approximately >> 10 cc. of straw-colored fluid. The heart is of essentially normal >> external contour and weighs 350 Gm. The pulmonary artery is >> opened in situ and no abnormalities are noted. The cardiac chambers >> contain moderate amounts of postmortem clotted blood. There are no >> gross abnormalities of the leaflets of any of the cardiac valves. The >> following are the circumferences of the cardiac valves: aortic 7.5 cm., >> pulmonic 7 cm., tricuspid 12 cm., mitral 11 cm. The myocardium is >> firm and reddish brown. The left ventricular myocardium averages >> 1.2 cm. in thickness, the right ventricular myocardium 0.4 cm. The >> coronary arteries are dissected and are of normal distribution and >> smooth walled and elastic throughout. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Abdominal Cavity >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The abdominal organs are in their normal positions and relationships >> and there is no increase in free peritoneal fluid. The vermiform >> appendix is surgically absent and there are a few adhesions joining >> the region of the cecum to the ventral abdominal wall at the above >> described old abdominal incisional scar. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Skeletal System >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Aside from the above described skull wounds there are no significant >> gross skeletal abnormalities. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Photography >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Black and white and color photographs depicting significant findings >> are exposed but not developed.

The >> projectiles were fired from a point behind and somewhat above the >> level of the deceased. The observations and available information do >> not permit a satisfactory estimate as to the sequence of the two >> wounds. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The fatal missile entered the skull above and to the right of the >> external occipital protuberance. A portion of the projectile traversed >> the cranial cavity in a posterior-anterior direction (see lateral skull >> roentgenograms) depositing minute particles along its path. A portion >> of the projectile made its exit through the parietal bone on the right >> carrying with it portions of cerebrum, skull and scalp. The two >> wounds of the skull combined with the force of the missile produced >> extensive fragmentation of the skull, laceration of the superior >> saggital sinus, and of the right cerebral hemisphere. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The other missile entered the right superior posterior thorax above >> the scapula and traversed the soft tissues of the supra-scapular and >> the supra-clavicular portions of the base of the right side of the neck. >> This missile produced contusions of the right apical parietal pleura >> and of the apical portion of the right upper lobe of the lung. The >> missile contused the strap muscles of the right side of the neck, >> damaged the trachea and made its exit through the anterior surface of >> the neck. As far as can be ascertained this missile struck no bony >> structures in its path through the body. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">In addition, it is our opinion that the wound of the skull produced >> such extensive damage to the brain as to preclude the possibility of >> the deceased surviving this injury. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">A supplementary report will be submitted following more detailed >> examination of the brain and of microscopic sections.

The right >> cerebral hemisphere is found to be markedly disrupted. There is a >> longitudinal laceration of the right hemisphere which is para-sagittal >> in position approximately 2.5 cm. to the right of the of the midline >> which extends from the tip of the occipital lobe posteriorly to the tip >> of the frontal lobe anteriorly. The base of the laceration is situated >> approximately 4.5 cm. below the vertex in the white matter. There is >> considerable loss of cortical substance above the base of the >> laceration, particularly in the parietal lobe. The margins of this >> laceration are at all points jagged and irregular, with additional >> lacerations extending in varying directions and for varying distances >> from the main laceration. In addition, there is a laceration of the >> corpus callosum extending from the genu to the tail. Exposed in this >> latter laceration are the interiors of the right lateral and third >> ventricles. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">When viewed from the vertex the left cerebral hemisphere is intact. >> There is marked engorgement of meningeal blood vessels of the left >> temporal and frontal regions with considerable associated >> sub-arachnoid hemorrhage. The gyri and sulci over the left >> hemisphere are of essentially normal size and distribution. Those on >> the right are too fragmented and distorted for satisfactory description. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">When viewed from the basilar aspect the disruption of the right >> cortex is again obvious. There is a longitudinal laceration of the >> mid-brain through the floor of the third ventricle just behind the optic >> chiasm and the mammillary bodies. This laceration partially >> communicates with an oblique 1.5 cm. tear through the left cerebral >> peduncle. There are irregular superficial lacerations over the basilar >> aspects of the left temporal and frontal lobes. <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">In the interest of preserving the specimen coronal sections are not >> made.

From the margin of the laceration in the right parietal lobe. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">b. From the margin of the laceration in the corpus callosum. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">c. From the anterior portion of the laceration in the right frontal lobe. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">d. From the contused left fronto-parietal cortex. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">e. From the line of transection of the spinal cord. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">f. From the right cerebellar cortex. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">g. From the superficial laceration of the basilar aspect of the left >> temporal lobe. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">During the course of this examination seven (7) black and white and >> six (6) color 4x5 inch negatives are exposed but not developed (the >> cassettes containing these negatives have been delivered by hand to >> Rear Admiral George W. Burkley, MC, USN, White House >> Physician). >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Microscopic Examination >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Brain >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Multiple sections from representative areas as noted above are >> examined. All sections are essentially similar and show extensive >> disruption of brain tissue with associated hemorrhage. In none of the >> sections examined are there significant abnormalities other than those >> directly related to the recent trauma. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Heart >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Sections show a moderate amount of sub-epicardial fat. The coronary >> arteries, myocardial fibers, and endocardium are unremarkable. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Lungs >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Sections through the grossly described area of contusion in the right >> upper lobe exhibit disruption of alveolar walls and recent hemorrhage >> into alveoli. Sections are otherwise essentially unremarkable. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Liver >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Sections show the normal hepatic architecture to be well preserved. >> The parenchymal cells exhibit markedly granular cytoplasm >> indicating high glycogen content which is characteristic of the "liver >> biopsy pattern" of sudden death. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Spleen >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Sections show no significant abnormalities. >> >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Kidneys >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Sections show no significant abnormalities aside from dilatation and >> engorgement of blood vessels of all calibers. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Skin Wounds >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Sections through the wounds in the occipital and upper right >> posterior thoracic regions are essentially similar. In each there is loss >> of continuity of the epidermis with coagulation necrosis of the tissues >> at the wound margins. The scalp wound exhibits several small >> fragments of bone at its margins in the subcutaneous tissue. >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Final Summary >> <span style="color: #6d1d9a; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This supplementary report covers in more detail the extensive degree >> of cerebral trauma in this case.
