It is important to reiterate that the finding could not have been observed in the first autopsy because the posterior head and neck dissection were not performed.
voice-verified
He said, another limitation, move this back here.
voice-verified
Another limitation faced by this forensic pathologist was the absence of the anterior internal neck structures.
voice-verified
The trachea and the laryngal cartilage, the thyroid, horn and the hyoid bone were not received with the body.
voice-verified
So he's saying,
voice-verified
that the throat was not received with the body when he got Nolan Wells' body in Washington DC to perform the second autopsy.
voice-verified
And so let's discuss that with what he said about that.
voice-verified
He said, it is assumed that the initial pathologist retained these structures for additional evaluation.
voice-verified
He said the retention of the anterior neck structures during an initial autopsy is a common forensic pathology practice.
voice-verified
He was chief medical examiner for seven years in Washington, DC.
voice-verified
And he said that if they had concern about throat or any fracture or compression of the throat, they too,
voice-verified
will hold them back.
voice-verified
He doesn't know why they held the throat back, but he said the throat was not with the body of Nolan Wells when he received it in Washington DC to perform the second autopsy.
voice-verified
He said, nevertheless, a posterior neck dissection performed without review of the anterior neck structures is incomplete.
voice-verified
Therefore, this pathologist cannot rule out injury to the neck as a contributor or a cause of death.
voice-verified
He said he would need to have the medical examiner in Mississippi allow him to review the throat.
voice-verified
That's why he said his autopsy is undetermined pending investigation.
voice-verified
Remember, it's about transparency.
voice-verified
Because the initial autopsy rightfully removed and dissected each organ, there are additional limitations inherent in the second autopsy of Nolan Wells.
voice-verified
The most significant of the limitations was the inability to directly observe the airway and the lungs for water and directly observe the stomach for gastric contents.
