Li Jian's face tensed, and he replied in a deep voice, "Currently, the cause of death is clear; the deceased died of mechanical asphyxiation due to neck compression."
After hearing this, Mr. Ma asked, "Was there any water in the deceased's lungs?"
With just this brief question, Li Jian understood Mr. Ma's intention.
For a corpse found in water, the first step is to determine whether it entered the water while alive or after death.
To make such a judgment, the main thing to check is whether there is water in the deceased's lungs.
To be precise, it's about whether external water entered the respiratory tract through the mouth and ultimately reached the lungs.
If a large amount of water is found in the lungs, it fully indicates that the deceased was breathing heavily after entering the water, which is an important feature of drowning before death.
Li Jian replied, "During the autopsy, Jiang An focused on examining the deceased's lungs, and no water was found inside."
