Several traumatic injuries on all skeleton segments (Figure 3), except the neurocranium, were observed at autopsy.
Sharp force and blunt force trauma on the maxilla, mandible, and clavicle.

Injuries were seen on the maxilla and mandible, as well as the clavicle (Figure 4).
Sternum showing complete section with loss of the lower third of the manubrium. A rare anatomical variation was also seen at this site, a so-called suprasternal or episternal bone (see the red circle).

There was also an interesting and rare anatomical variation, a so-called suprasternal or episternal bone (Figure 5).
Several false starts with eversion of the bone margins on both scapulas and the proximal epiphysis of the left ulna (see the red circles).

The humerus and radius showed injuries caused by blunt force and sharp force trauma (Figures 6 and 7).

The humerus and radius showed injuries caused by blunt force and sharp force trauma (Figures 6 and 7).
The spine mainly showed sharp force trauma on all its segments and cut impact marks (see the red circles).

The spine mainly showed sharp-blunt force trauma on all its segments and cut impact marks, as shown in Figure 8.
The sacrum and left ilium showed chop wounds. Cut marks, fracture lines, false starts, and hard tissue loss were observed on these bone surfaces.

The sacrum showed chop wounds (Figure 9), which are injuries usually caused by a heavy weapon or tool with at least one sharp cutting edge, like an axe or a machete. Cut marks, fracture lines, and hard tissue loss were observed on the bone surface (Figure 9).
Blunt, sharp, and chop injuries at the distal epiphysis of the femurs and their diaphysis.

The lower limbs also showed blunt, sharp, and chop injuries at the distal epiphysis of the femurs and their diaphysis (Figure 10).
Distal epiphysis of the left tibia showed injuries consistent with false starts.
