The Remains of Dr. Carl Austin Weiss: Anthropological Analysis

Abstract: Anthropological analysis of the remains of Dr. Carl Austin Weiss revealed biological information consistent with his known characteristics. Postmortem changes included decomposition of amalgam dental restorations, likely releasing mercury that stained the anterior dentition, deposition of sulphur compounds on much of the skeleton, and the formation of numerous small bone fractures. Analysis revealed extensive perimortem trauma, indicating multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body. Trajectory analysis of the bo… Show more

“…In 1995, Ubelaker (1995), published an anthropological analysis of an individual who was assassinated sustaining gunshot trauma. The analysis produced evidence for projectile path and thus direction of fire based on the displacement of bone fragments, fractures, bevelling and appearance of the fractures.…”

“…Si el proyectil golpea hueso esponjoso, el patrón de la alteración puede ser más irregular. La dirección del proyectil entonces puede ser evaluada a través de la consideración de los patrones de biselado discutidos más arriba, junto con alguna evidencia de desplazamiento del fragmento (Ubelaker, 1996). Por supuesto, la evidencia puede incluir perforaciones en prendas de vestir asociadas o incluso la misma recuperación de los proyectiles.…”

“…If the projectile strikes cancellous bone, the pattern of alteration may be more irregular. Direction may be evaluated through consideration of the beveling patterns discussed above, along with any evidence of fragment displacement (Ubelaker, 1996). Of course, evidence may also involve perforations in associated clothing or recovery of the projectiles themselves.…”
