Natalie Woods body, being an autopsied body, had to be embalmed differently because a medical examiner cuts out the internal organs of the body and thereby disrupts the natural flow of the circulatory system. The office assigned most of the recorded civilian casualties to the use of explosive weapons, and noted the actual number is likely "considerably higher.".

Disinterments typically start the same way a backhoe quickly clears the topsoil but each exhumation is unique, depending on the condition of the corpse. Discovered in the Schnalstal glacier by Italian hikers in 1991, this 5000-year-old mummy has an arrow embedded in its chest. At that point, the seat of power opened yet again and guess who claimed it: Charles II. The story illustrates why exhumations can be useful in complicated cases, especially if the medical examiner who performed a pre-burial autopsy didnt have enough information about the circumstances of the persons death. But what is strange is that Natalie must have screamed for help, but perhaps out on the open water her voice just drifted away like the dinghy she tried so desperately to climb aboard.
