This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm only surprised they look at the brain as a matter of course.

Most of the potential causes of death are all together in the chest cavity. Opening up the skull and putting it back together seems like a lot of effort if there aren't specific indicators.

I guess they have to be thorough.
