Ruin My Week

Back in the 90s, I worked for the company that was contracted to move bodies for the coroner. We picked up the body of a lady who had worked as a tailor in her youth. When they did the post mortem, there were several dressmaking pins and needles under her skin (mainly in her legs). There was also a pin lodged in her lung. Coroner thought she must have inhaled it. She’d suffered a pulmonary embolism back in the 60s which had forced her to retire. Maybe the pin was the cause of it. How she hadn’t felt the pins or that none of them had been picked up on x-rays or scans she’d had in later life, I don’t know. Cause of death was a stroke.

Other causes of death, impending ones. Malignancies that weren’t diagnosed, hepatitis, occult bleeding, etc. Once found full blown metastatic stomach cancer in a college kid that died in a bar fight that escalated, it was pretty remarkable.

Spoke with a pathologist at a conference, during her training at the medical examiner’s office, they were doing an autopsy on a body that was found by a river. They did a CT and something looked funny about his gut. When they opened him up, his stomach moved, it was a snake that had burrowed inside his body, it struck and bit one of the techs before they realized what was going on

Ok, this isn’t an autopsy, but I work in a pathology lab and we get all the parts that are removed from a human during surgery. Tumors, moles, appendages, stones (kidney, bladder, gall bladder etc).
One day a large, long, cylindrical stone was removed from a man’s penis. We have to break the stone down to it’s chemical components so we can tell what it’s predominantly made from, ie calcium. So we put this stone in solution, and as it dissolved we realized something was in the centre. It was a Bic pen cap! There’s no way it came from above….

One my friend does this autopsies and he said that he found 24 screws in the large intestine of a 75 year old woman. The wierdest part is she died of a heart attack while, in the shower. There was no possible explanation other than she was suffering from pica.

Rolls of dollar bills inside the vaginal cavity. Removed it and let her “property” dry and then returned to the family with the rest of her belongings. so wash your hands after handling money!

Oh man. Okay one time we had an autopsy on a guy who had died abroad whilst on holiday. He’d already had an autopsy in his country of death. He needed another autopsy in his home country before his death could be registered, so that was our job. He had been embalmed and repatriated to us. Obviously by the time we received his body, his brain had already been removed and dissected, and the skull sutured closed. My colleague reopened the skull as we weren’t sure of autopsy procedures in the country of death.
The skull cavity was stuffed with underpants.
