petersonstory.wordpress.com/2008/....8/#comment-7649"fascinatingtermsofdeservice // May 17, 2008 at 8:37 pm Oh, before I go! Those diagnoses have some numbers .. 1 2 3 they are in an order� think about � Maybe that order has a reason� From the worst to the least dangerous � hmmm Now, i�m really gone." 1. Cerebral edema with cerebellar tonsillar notching. "Cerebral edema is part of the drowning and is caused by hypoxia (low oxygen). Her swollen brain pressed against the skull compressing the centers in the brain responsible for the heart and breathing. When those centers were damaged, either her heart stopped beating or the breathing ceased." 2. Moderate pulmonary edema "PE it means there is water in the lungs coming from INSIDE (the blood vessels in the lungs). PE in her case shows she was conscious while she drowned. She was breathing against closed glottis (throat) and caused negative pressure inside her lungs that pulled the water from the blood vessels out in the little �sacs� (alveoli) of the lungs. A unconscious person when drowns has the glottis open so the water in the lungs comes from the OUTSIDE (the water in the bathtub/toilet)" It seems that in Kathy's case, having pulmonary edema present, she drowned while conscious. Hmmm strange! I would have expected this to happen in a deeper "swimming pool"! I mean the only way she could have drowned in her bathtub would have been if she were rendered unconscious before drowning; which she was not..

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: Charles B. Pelkie Sgt. Thomas J. Burek Feb. 21, 2008 Pathologist declares Kathleen Savio’s death a homicide JOLIET – Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow announced today that his office has received the final report on the autopsy performed on the remains of Kathleen S. Savio on Nov. 13, 2007. Dr. Larry W. Blum, the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy, concludes in his report that the actual cause of Kathleen Savio’s death was drowning and that the legal manner of death was homicide. Dr. Blum’s report was delivered to the Will County Coroner’s Office on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2008 and immediately forwarded to the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Illinois State Police. “Dr. Blum’s forensic report renders his expert opinion that this is a homicide,” State’s Attorney Glasgow said. “We have been investigating this as a murder since reopening the case in November of last year. We now have a scientific basis to formally and publicly classify it as such.” The complete autopsy report is a component of the investigation into the March 1, 2004 death of Kathleen Savio and will not be released. However, the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Illinois State Police are releasing the following quote from the conclusion in Dr. Blum’s report: “It is my opinion based on my education, training, experience and personal observations, and to a reasonable degree of medical and scientific certainty, compelling evidence exists to support the conclusions that the cause of death of Kathleen S. Savio was drowning and further, that the manner of death was homicide.” This was the second autopsy performed on Kathleen Savio’s remains. The first was performed shortly after her death in March 2004. Her body was exhumed on the morning of Nov. 13, 2007, and Dr. Blum performed the second autopsy that afternoon. In his report, Dr. Blum notes that he reviewed photos taken from the scene at the time of Kathleen Savio’s death as well as reports of the initial scene investigation. He also carefully examined the physical location of Kathleen Savio’s death on Nov. 20, 2007 as part of his investigation. His report includes the results of microscopic examinations and toxicological tests conducted on postmortem tissue specimens. The specimens examined by Dr. Blum were collected during the first autopsy on March 2, 2004, the second autopsy performed by Dr. Blum on Nov. 13, 2007, and a third autopsy performed by Dr. Michael Baden on behalf of Kathleen Savio’s family on Nov. 16, 2007. The results of those examinations and tests are part of the investigation and are not being disclosed at this time. The Illinois State Police are investigating the murder of Kathleen Savio as well as the disappearance of Stacy Peterson. Kathleen Savio’s murder and Stacy Peterson’s disappearance are simultaneously being investigated by a Special Grand Jury that was convened in November 2007. gretawire.foxnews.com/ |

TrinTrin Posted this on Annies board. Interesting Information about the Autopsy anniemyth.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=illinois&action=display&thread=3658&page=23trintrin Guest Re: Drew Is Finally Busted ! « Reply #677 on Oct 6, 2009, 8:50am » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Kathleens autopsy: postmortem lividity is purple and fixed over the anterior sufaces of the body. there is fingerprint blanching over the right medial breast and blanching over the aerola and central portion of the left breast the left thigh and calf. definitions Definition of Anterior Anterior: The front, as opposed to the posterior. What is Lividity? Lividity is also useful for this purpose. Lividity is the process through which the body's blood supply will stop moving after the heart has stopped pumping it around the inside of the deceased. What normally happens at this point is that the blood supply - or at least any blood that remains within the corpse depending on the nature of their death - will settle in direct response to gravity. For example an individual found lying on their stomach would be found with all the blood from their back heading towards the ground. Lividity also displays itself as a dark purple discolouration of the body and can also be referred to as Livor Mortis or Post Mortem Hypostasis. Any part of the body which has come into contact with a firm surface for a period of time - such as a floor or bench top - will show signs of this during lividity as this impression against the skin displays itself as an indentation surrounded by gravity-pulled blood. It is worth noting that lividity begins to work through the deceased within thirty minutes of their heart stopping and can last up to twelve hours. Only up to the first six hours of death can lividity be altered by moving the body. After the six hour mark lividity is fixed as blood vessels begin to break down within the body. Pressure of even a mild degree is sufficient to prevent gravitational filling of the vessels and this is so in the compressed areas of skin in contact with the underlying supporting surface. The result is that these compressed areas of "contact flattening" also show "contact pallor" (or "pressure pallor"). A supine corpse will display contact pallor over the shoulderblades, buttocks, calves and heels. Other areas of contact pallor will correspond with the location of firm fitting clothing, e.g. elasticated underwear, belts and collars, and any firm object lying beneath the body, e.g. the arm of the decedent. Thus, the distribution of lividity depends upon the position of the body after death. Ok here is where i think the guy got mixed up in the autopsy report and called contact pallor fingerprint blanching. Remember Kathleen layed on her back in the morgue for at least 12 hours and the front of her body still showed fixed lividity, there was no way she had any unfixed lividity like the autopsy said, he had to have meant contact pallor. blanching of post mortem lividity by thumb pressure indicates that the lividity is not fully fixed. |

Fingerprint blanching is when you push on the tissue and it turns white. This can happen when lividity is not set. Lividity sets for postive by 12 hours to as little as 3 hours. Her lividity had to be set 100 percent and there would be no fingerprint blanching.

In the initial autopsy performed by Bryan Mitchell, the doctor noted Savio’s tongue was “partially clenched between the teeth.”
“You need to be unconscious when you drown, and upon death the muscles in the face relax and the jaw relaxes. Typically you don’t die with your tongue clenched between your teeth. That might indicate there was a struggle at the end,” Walsh said.
Walsh also said the fact the doctor made no note about the presence of water in the lungs was conspicuous.
In the initial report Mitchell noted water was found in the Ethmoid sinuses but did not note whether water was present in the lungs.
“That (water in the lungs) is something you would typically indicate in the case of a drowning victim,” Walsh said.

www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/northwest/chi-peterson_09nov09,1,3424327.story But in a petition the Will County state's attorney filed Friday listing the reasons authorities want to exhume Savio's body, prosecutors said a review of evidence in the case "is consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide." Prosecutors said they reviewed photographs of the crime scene and autopsy, the autopsy protocol, and police reports. "... The one-inch gash in the back of Kathleen Savio's head did not render her unconscious, which would have been necessary for her to accidentally drown in the bathtub," the petition stated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ cbs2chicago.com/local/kathleen.savio.autopsy.2.564233.htmlBut, DuPage County's chief deputy coroner, Charlie Dastych also reviewed the autopsy report at CBS 2's request, and isn't so sure. "The injuries that are noted in the autopsy report definitely indicate there is evidence of suspicion that could be looked at at a different level," Dastych said. "Evidence of a possible struggle." "When they talk about an injury to the scalp, and blood matted in the hair, I think it would raise questions of what caused this trauma if you're drowned in a bathtub," said DuPage County Coroner Peter Siekmann. "But basically healthy people that have no toxic substances in their system, essentially they don't drown." ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g9LSLrzFQGStXb1io5FdErAtFFKgD8SQONL80There's no doubt in my mind it wasn't an accident," Will County state's attorney James Glasgow said Friday. Glasgow's petition to exhume Savio's body argues that the "evidence is consistent with the staging of an accident to conceal a homicide."

The officer, Sgt. Drew Peterson, faces no criminal charges and continues to work for the Bolingbrook Police Department. “At this point, I don’t even consider this a homicide,” said Lt.
