Coroners report: Died of blunt force trauma after being assaulted”
If by chance he was alive when placed in the dumpster would the injuries caused by the emptying of the following dumpsters be considered blunt force trauma for legal purposes?
Is it possible for the ME to make a determination in regards to the place of death. IOW, would they know if he died before or after being placed in the dumpster?
I wonder if CCTV captured the assault. Trying to sort the possibilities in my brain. Was he assaulted, left for dead, managed to crawl into a dumpster in case the perps returned. Once he was in the dumspter, he lost consciousness and suffered the fatal injuries as the contents of dumpsters fell on him?
But then, it is easy to determine if injuries are pre or post mortem, correct?
