gravity to gently pull the blood out.

You would need to do it as quickly as you possibly could.

So perhaps suspend the body by the wrist or, and if this is done in a post-mortem state, you're not necessarily going to see any contusions on the wrist.

Now you might see some kind of abraded areas, but I haven't heard of anything like that.

Yeah, it's potential, but we can tell the difference between post-mortem and anti-mortem prior to death.

But the watchword here, Nancy, in the draining is going to be gravity.

So you've got this gravitational pull where blood is like any other fluid.

It's going to seek the lowest point of gravity.

So the blood would have to be pulled out and hence drain.

And this is something that is commonly done in butchery.

You see it everywhere.

When bodies are actually embalmed,

the fluids are pushed through the body with a pump.

I don't think that that's what's happened here.

There's no indication that there's any kind of injection sites or anything like that.

Let me cut the chase, Joe Scott.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, it would depend upon how prepared the person was to do this.

They could bring something with them, just like they would bring tools.

All right.
