Place of Examination: Autopsy Hall, Tonekabon Forensic Medicine Organization
Date of death: September 22, 2022
Cause of Death:
"Loss of vital organ function due to comminuted facial bone fractures, cervical vertebral injuries, and spinal cord trauma caused by a high-velocity metallic projectile (bullet)."
No subgaleal hemorrhage was observed. There was mild subarachnoid hemorrhaging in the anterior portion of the right frontal lobe and the right cerebellar hemisphere. There were no observed or palpable fractures in the calvarium or base of the skull. The brain tissue appeared intact. In the cervical region, subcutaneous hemorrhaging was visible on the upper right and upper left sides of the neck. There were no signs of hemorrhage around the soft tissues of the pharynx and larynx. There were no palpable fractures or dislocations in the thyroid cartilage or hyoid bone. No foreign bodies were detected in the airways. The pharynx and larynx were excised. Hemorrhaging was observed over the cervical vertebral column, and palpable fractures were present in the mid-cervical vertebrae (C3, C4, and C5). Upon examination, a lead fragment measuring approximately 1 cm by 0.5 cm was found lodged between the cervical intervertebral spaces. It was handed over to the police. Examination of the chest revealed no subcutaneous hemorrhage. No fractures were observed or palpated in the ribs or sternum. The right and left pleural cavities contained normal-colored, normal-volume fluid. The pericardial sac also contained fluids of normal color and volume. The heart weighed 220 grams and contained a small amount of bloody fluid. The coronary artery was patent. The lungs were soft and pale. Upon sectioning, no edema or purulent discharge was noted. Upon opening the uterus, no evidence of trauma, foreign body, or pregnancy was observed. The stomach contained partially digested food, and the gastric wall appeared normal. No abnormalities were found in the liver, spleen, intestines, retroperitoneum, or kidneys. The bullet trajectory was from front to back and slightly from top to bottom. Further assessment of the type of firearm, ammunition, and shooting distance is subject to the analysis of a ballistics expert. The cause of death is confirmed to be failure of vital centers due to comminuted fractures of the facial bones, cervical vertebral fractures, and spinal cord injury caused by a high-velocity metallic projectile (bullet) trauma. A burial permit was issued in her name.
Dr. Mojdeh Namavar, Head of the Tonekabon Forensic Medicine Organization, signed the permit.
