# '''Dewar'''
## The dewar had been built in mid 1970 and was failing.
## The patient's refilled the dewar regularly for 21 years, preventing the patient from experiencing any significant warming. The presence of water ice, still in the form of cubes, confirms this.
# '''Body'''
## The patient did not have any visible surface fracture events.
## '''Head'''
### The head is turned to the left and two puncture marks ~1cm apart are visible on the anteriomedial aspect of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (Site of injection of the solution).
### A frozen, bloody exudade is visible around the mouth and nose, consistent with the presence of a respirator mask and improper chest compressions.
### A larger quantity of darker blood appears to have flowed from the mouth during dry ice freezing, as it retains the folds of the wrapping used to cover the patient.
### The eyes are partially open and the corneas are white due to ice. The nostrils were flattened, presumably compressed by the weight of dry ice.
### The had was fringed with short gray hair.
### There were remains of aluminized mylar on the occiput.
## '''Neck'''
### The skin of the left side of the neck is distended with the injection of a fluid bolus into the subcutaneous space.
### Examination of the left side of the neck was made impossible by the position of the head.
## '''Limbs '''
### '''Arms'''
#### The skin of the right forearm appeared erythematous and discolored.
### '''Legs'''
#### The legs are crossed, with the right foot over the left.
## '''Torso'''
### The skin from the mandible to ~2cm above the areolas appeared erythematous and discolored.
## '''Abdomen'''
### The skin was erythematous.

The general discoloration is probably a product of the injection of pure or highly concentrated DMSO.
