Caylee Anthony's Death: A Case Study

The “performers” of the trial played a crucial role in the trial, the verdict and the informal perceptions of Casey Anthony. The prosecutor and defense both played contrasting roles in shaping their client/opponent legally and informally, in the media. The

The mummification process is done in two phases, the first being embalming and the latter being wrapping and burial. There was a special place for embalming to take place known as the ibu. The ibu was called the place of purification. The first thing the embalmers do is to clean his body with aromatic palm wine and rinse it with Nile water. The next step involves removing all but a select few of the internal organs. The process used to remove the internal organs changed over time and varied with the wealth of the body in question. The heart was left in the body because of its necessity as the focal point of mental and emotional stability. The body’s fluids and rags used in this phase are left with the body for its burial. The body is left for a period of

Casey Anthony is an Ohio-born and Florida-raised woman that had a daughter named Caylee Anthony be born on August 9, 2005. In the summer of June 2008, following a major argument with her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, who were questioning her suitability as a mother figure, Casey left her parents’ home with Caylee. Over the next couple of weeks, Cindy kept reaching out to Casey concerned about both her and Caylee’s whereabouts. Every time Casey was inquired about Caylee, she would report that Caylee was out under the care of her nanny, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. Nothing seemed amiss until July 13, 2008 when George and Cindy received a notice that Casey’s car was currently being held in a tow yard. Upon their arrival to pick up the car,

As stated before, when the body dies the soul dies as well. Lucretius follows this by providing evidence to support this claim. He first affirms that “[the soul] is made up of exceedingly fine particles” which explains why, despite the physical nature of the soul, “when the whole soul has now left the entire body, / still the external configuration of the limbs / preserves itself unchanged and not a speck of weight is lost” (3.68; 3.215-217).

In American society, it has been understood that mummification was done to prevent the decomposition of the dead body. With my limited knowledge on this topic, I too believed this was the case. However, it turns out that their may have been other reasons for

oh the animal dies and gets buried under a ton of dirt. That would just cause decomposition and worm food. Dying is only the first step to becoming fossilized. Organisms become fossilized by getting trapped in amber, trapped in asphalt, buried in rock, frozen, or they can become petrified which is when minerals replace the decomposing organism. Being trapped in asphalt is the most common of these.

The process of disinfection is ordinarily done first. The bodies' orifices are sprayed with a cleaning solution and wiped clean with cotton. Also done in this process are what embalmers call "setting the features." This is a process where the embalmer uses choice techniques to close the mouth and eyes of the deceased and "sets" the features to the natural likeness as in life. This might include rebuilding the mouth with cotton or a mouth former. Often teeth are missing and require a great deal of time and detail to achieve this natural life-like image. It is also a common practice for many embalmers to fully bath the remains with a disinfectant soap, however many practitioners will choose to bath the body at the completion of the entire embalming process.

Skeletal remains are usually all that’s left if grave robbers disrupt the burial sites or if the burial sites experience and are destroyed by natural unearthing’s, they still offer many details of what the person or people have been through.

As posited by the Ecclesiastes writer, physical death in general is where the body returns to the dust from which it came and the spirit to God who gave it. (Eccl 12:7). The term death is not restricted to physical death; but rather,

Bodies decompose slowly or fast depending on weather conditions, if they have been buried or are exposed to the elements, if there is presence of insects or if they have a substance in their bodies that prevents their fast decomposition such as body size and weight, clothing,The dead body goes through constant changes

That’s true, the body is disposed of accordingly, just being another additive to the ground. But the life, the soul, that was inside the body leaks out and searches for another one to occupy. The reason for a spirit to kill is that, once one body is killed, another is born. The spirit that caused the demise of the deceased will take the corresponding new body for their soul to reside and it live life

The first stage starts with osteoblastic activation of osteoclast differentiation, fusion, and activation. The second stage or reversal stage begins after the formation of resorption lacunae, since the osteoclasts leave the area and mononucleated cells of uncertain origin appear and “clean up” the organic matrix remnants left by the osteoclast. This stage takes about 2-4 weeks, and the third stage is when osteoblasts begin filling the lacunae with new bone and this stage takes between 4-6

Death is the transition from corporeal to non-corporeal. The body becomes a part of the planet and the acorporeal becomes a part of the universe.

The stage of cellular death includes eye changes in the form of loss of corneal reflex, shrunked eye and pale retina. Algor mortis (body cooling), hypostasis, rigor mortis are early postmortem changes that occur in cellular death. Late postmortem changes include putrefaction. The process of postmortem decomposition could be divided into five stages: Fresh (autolysis), putrefaction, black putrefaction, butyric fermentation and dry decay. These gross changes will be quite unreliable with times [6,
