No - keep reading - the blood had spread throughout several layers of the brain membrane - no, it's not usually there - it's in the veins. This was a flood.
I'm sorry, you're confusing me.
Say someone's dead and has been dead for 12 hours. They were strangled to death and the tight cord remained around their throat. (Someone else, not JonBenet.)
They would have blood in their head, and that blood would be in the blood vessels, right? Aside from some petechial hemorrhaging, most of the blood would be contained in the vessels. Right? And that blood would have begun to seperate (settle) into its different components (red blood cells, white blood cells, etc.) (still within the vessels). Right?
And that's as far as I've gotten to where I feel comfortable that I know what I'm talking about. But we do agree up to this point?
