I used to volunteer at a medical examiner's office in Florida. All prisoners were required to have autopsies, so a disproportionate amount of autopsies were done on prisoners. The state of their bodies was horrific. Gigantic bedsores, malnutrition, poor dentition. Prisoners are supposed to get adequate healthcare, but I can personally testify that the evidence on their bodies showed they absolutely do not get anything approaching the standard of care if they suffer from chronic illness.

Just have to throw in my 2 cents here.. one time I was assisting with an autopsy, my ME was an older guy, I'm a guy, and one of the techs working with us was a woman. We removed the vagina/uterus and basically turned it inside out. We found a large piece of plastic inside, and me and the ME just looked at each other like "WTF IS THAT". We had a momentary freakout before the woman walked over and said "oh, that's just a nuvaring." Crisis averted.

Also one time we had a guy that had died while super trashed. He had a visible bulge right above his groin that turned out to be 1.5L of urine. We actually measured it because we were amazed that the bladder had held without bursting or leaking.

Also, cooked flesh smells just like pork.

I volunteered in a Medical Examiner's office during college, and our ME would take about 45 minutes to do a complete autopsy. I'm currently in medical school, and it seems that 45 minutes is absurdly fast to look for everything that could cause death if you had no clues to start with.

If you had a fresh body with no trauma, no clues to begin, what is your jumping-off checklist of things to look for?

This sounds like a take directly from the r/antiwork echo chamber
