This person had no compunction about this.
Well, if you even if you look at there's classic image of from Ed Gein's house where you've got one of his victims has been trussed up and just like you would a deer.
And the body that lady's body was actually inverted.
So my speculation, there's no way to really hang upside down.
Yeah.
And so my thought is that the quickest way to do this is to, you have to suspend the body.
So let's just say that you do this by section.
You would literally have to take the lower torso and suspend it perhaps by the ankles so that you can drain the blood in that.
Whereas with the upper torso, you've made this major incision.
You can't just count on
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.
