Do an autopsy on a body embedded in concrete??
 
CNN.com has a story about this.

From the article:
Quote:

Johnson, 23, has been missing for more than two weeks. Lake Dallas law officers began looking for Wiederhold on Tuesday, after receiving calls from two residents who said he told them that he had killed Johnson, placed her body in a 50-gallon drum and filled it with concrete.
How the fuck would you -do- this?

Memalvada 06-15-2003 06:19 PM

By carefully chipping away the concrete?

I dunno :confused:

DNA testing, that shit can do anything

The_Dude 06-15-2003 07:43 PM

yea, i'm sure they'll find something w/ dna.

but i dont know how the hell they'll do an autopsy

Mael 06-15-2003 07:47 PM

wouldn't surprise me if there's some kind of concrete solvent that they could use. dunno though.

Imagine reading this thread title in the Tilted Advice forum....

A concrete solvent? Hell, if they had something that would melt concrete, I doubt whether there would much of a body to do an autopsy on!? Sounds like a job for Mr. Jackhammer to me.

Could always pull out the chisel and do a michaelangelo on it...

well if you wait long enough , the body will become smaller then it was when it was put into the drum

so that gives very small gaps of the skin and the concrete mold, which maybe would allow you *carefully* hammer the huge chunks away

either way, i would never want to do this

Daval 06-16-2003 04:46 AM

As others have suggested, I think the only way to do this would be to chip away at the concrete slowly.

Just remember that they want to do the autopsy before the body becomes even more decayed. :eek: So you don't want to wait too long, or you'll just be pouring out the bones.

i'd say it's pretty simple from an archeologists point of view...

chip.. brush... chip.. brush...

slow and meticulous...

there's no statue of limitations on murder so they can take as long as they need.

Troublebot 06-16-2003 07:07 AM

Would the body decay? I mean, for that to happen, there has to be air getting to the body, and how porous is concrete anyway?

I think they need the CSI gang, and Quincy... and maybe Bob Villa.

Bill O'Rights 06-16-2003 08:01 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, and most usually do...but wasn't this an episode on last seasons "Crossing Jordan"?

MSD 06-16-2003 08:18 AM

Concrete is very porous, air will get in, and decay will occur.
