Hana the Banana Lab

From the external findings on the left side, Hana has a laceration that is medial to her left ear and seems to have hit the left eye as well. The ending of the gash is 1 centimeter superior to Hana's mouth. Hana has a second gash on her left side which is inferior to her arm and medial to her back. It is 1 millimeter lateral to her midline. Observing from the right side, Hana has a deep cut that is distal to the elbow and cut off three of her fingers. She has another gash that is 1.5 centimeters medial to the right arm and is towards her anterior. She has a third gash that is 2 centimeters superior to her feet. The presence of 2 centimeters worth of puncture wounds and discoloration superior to her right ear is also suspicious. To open the ventral body cavity and expose the internal organs of Hana, a mid-sagittal cut was made so that the right and left internal organs could be examined - images before and after the opening of the ventral cavity are attached. From the right sagittal view, it was clear that the external gash on the upper right protruded into the body cavity. Hana's second gash is inferior to the pelvis and cuts through the body at an oblique angle. The left sagittal view of Hana exposed discoloration by the midline extending to the end of the body cavity. From this autopsy, it can be concluded that Hana the Banana was viciously attacked by Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th who slashed at her multiple times with his machete. The severity of the wounds and the extreme loss of blood ultimately resulted in the patient's death.
