  The documentation on autopsies presented in this booklet is a copy of official documents used in 
  Spain (adapted to an international audience and with minor changes).
  Data are entered into these forms, by hand, and the documents are at the specialists' disposal in 
  the form of photocopied sheets. We have chosen not to enhance the quality of the images on 
  purpose, to keep the true appearance, with some sheets showing blurred images, or even non-
  horizontal text, as we explained, because they come from originally photocopied sheets.
  Autopsies in your games: You can use the whole or part of these props in your games, a partial 
  report lost on purpose with some scribbled notes? A secret dossier with strange conclusions? A 
  bunch of deaths due to the same causes in the same spot during fifty years...? We give you the 
  prop, you create the game!

  EXTERNAL AUTOPSY
  The first step before beginning the external analysis is 
  to take photographs of the body. The recorded notes 
  the clothes the corpse is in, as well as the type and 
  location of any personal effects on the body. These are 
  then removed. At this point, any kind of remains alien 
  to the body are searched for and noted down (an 
  ultraviolet light can assist this search): wood or metal 
  shards, vegetal remains, et c., before being disposed of. 
  If the examiner judges it necessary, he can take samples 
  of skin, hair, nails and any other suspect items are 
  taken for further research before the analysis of marks, 
  scars and wounds begins. 
  With the body already naked and stripped of alien 
  remains, 
  the 
  specialist 
  passes 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  first 
  examination of the wounds. The corpse is thoroughly 
  cleaned to take external measurements in the best 
  condition. Physical data are noted down: height and 
  weight, race specifications, skin, eyes and hair colour, 
  birth marks, tattoos and so on. In the same way, total 
  or partial X-ray images may be taken. 
  INTERNAL AUTOPSY
  Before the main incision, the corpse's back is placed on 
  a block to elevate the chest while the neck and arms 
  remain lower. This gives the examiner a better angle to 
  reach the internal organs. Usually, a Y-shaped cut is 
  done on the chest. The upper "arms" of the Y begin at 
  the shoulders and reach the lower part of the sternum, 
  while the rest of the cut continues the pubic area. As is 
  obvious, there is no bleeding during this process, since 
  gravity keeps the blood stored in the lower half of the 
  body - or, simply, it is already coagulated. An 
  exception to this process occurs when a victim has 
  drowned; in such cases residual bleeding can occur 
  during this step.
  The chest is opened with the help of a chainsaw or 
  pliers. Then, the ribs are cut in the side to extract the 
  whole bones' block in one piece. At times, remains of 
  tissue stuck to the bones will have to be scratched off, 
  using a scalpel.
  The next step is to remove the organs one by one (or in 
  small groups).
  The first organs to be taken into account are the heart 
  (and its pericardial sac), and the lungs. The usual 
  procedure is to take a blood sample directly from the 
  vena cava for further analysis, as well as to examine 
  the pulmonary arteries in search of blood clots. The 
  major blood vessels are also usually analysed.
  Each organ is examined and weighed.  The examiner 
  can take tissue samples for further analysis if he deems 
  it necessary. One of the more relevant steps is the 
  examination on the contents of the digestive tract: 
  stomach and intestines. This can reveal the presence of 
  poison and provide an estimate of the time when the 
  person eat his or her last meal (as indicated by the 
  degree of digestion the food is in).
  Once the examination of the organs is finished, the 
  head is taken care of. The same block used to elevate 
  the torso is now relocated under the head. A cut from 
  one ear up to the other is done, through the back part 
  of the head.  The technician needs to exercise care to 
  damage the visible part of the face if the victim’s 
  family has requested a viewing or plans any open 
  casket ceremonies. The skin is taken aside and the rest 
  of the cranium is sawed off to "un-cap" it. The bindings 
  between the brain, cranium and spinal cord are cut off, 
  to extract the former. If further analysis of the brain is 
  called for, the usual procedure is to leave it in a 
  formaldehyde solution during a period of between two 
  and four weeks. In this way, not only is it preserved, 
  but it gains some stiffness that will help at the time of 
  cutting it.
  As the autopsy ends, the previously removed ribs' 
  block is put back into place, and the original incision is 
  sewn off. This leaves the cadaver ready to be prepared 
  and made up if it needed for funerary services.
