Struck by a vehicle.
A bus to be more precise and
pronounced dead at the scene
by paramedics.
K, there is significant blunt
force trauma to the head,
the right upper thoracic,
the right mid torso...
and this is consistent with
this type of vehicular accident.
K...
It appears the large and small
intestines are visible from...
the outside of the body.
And this is due to the large
laceration to the
lower abdomen area.
K, moving on to the
posterior examination...
Jesus!!!
It appears to be
some sort of... parasite.
It's nothing I've ever seen or
any clue what it may be...
