Question

What truth is reyealed abou the death of penguins by the
post-mortem report?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Autolysis means the destructive changes that occur naturally in body organs

following death, i.e. the commencement of putrefaction. Such changes are

fairly clear, organs become soft, lose shape and discoloured. Clearly the

dissector will need to be familiar with the normal appearance of organs in order

to recognise such comparative changes. It is sometimes of value to note and

record the presence of fly eggs and maggots and the size of the latter. For

example, if a body which has been recovered from the beach is autolytic but

there are no fly eggs or maggots, it may suggest that the period passed since

death has been at sea, not on shore exposed to flies
