I’m reading a book about the Nicole Simpson murder. In this case, the murder was clearly caused by an attack to the throat severing several major arteries.
The autopsy took several hours during which autopsy the organs were removed, weighed then returned to the body. They also looked for signs of chemicals in the system by taking samples. Perhaps Ms. Simpson was drugged beforehand.
Are all autopsies performed in the same manner despite cause of death? What would cause organs to weigh different amounts? Wouldn’t they differ as the size of the individual differs? In this case, Ms. Simpson had lost almost all her blood. Her organs would weigh less as a result. What other info could be obtained by weighing organs?
