Were these the parts that were lowest? The blood can pool
downward if there is enough time and discolors the lowest parts;
it's called "lividity". (Given enough time fat also settles downward
but that takes longer.)
I suspect there might be other explanations associated with
illness type or causes of death -- have a sensation of having
some vague recollections tucked away but can't get a grip on
them to look up and check to see if I am totally off base or not.
Guess I'll wait to be taught by others again.
Is she doing a necropsy to besafest? Necropsies save lives.
Thatsounds strange, but when there is a poison, a smothering
gas, a contagious disease, etc. they allow people to respond
rapidly and accurately to end the threat.
