![]() In fact, because receiving numerous gunshots in this state, as the victim did, would have likely “spilled the guts” of the victim, it is the opinion of this investigator that the witnesses drastically altered the body. The stomach area would bloat, intestines would begin pushing their way out, and cells themselves would rupture. Lastly, and most disturbingly, the body of the victim would have begun to decompose immediately upon death. To hide the visual changes that accompany this state-ghostly pale areas accented by blood red ones-the witnesses kept the victim’s body covered at all times with a full outfit, including sunglasses. The blood of the victim, no longer able to fight gravity, would begin to pool in the extremities of the body. Six to twelve hours into their weekend with the victim, the witnesses would have seen the body undergo livor mortis. It is the opinion of this investigator that the witnesses applied alternating electric current to the body, in effect tenderizing the victim. To achieve this ease of motion during the time the witnesses Wilson and Parker were in possession of the body, they could have used the same technique that butchers use to make sure recently refrigerated meat does not undergo rigor mortis. Witnesses report that the body of the victim was not stiff, indeed, it was flexible enough to be carried around as if walking, dragged behind a boat, and finally flipped off a gurney to be buried in the sand by a small child. The muscle fibers become fixed in place as the metabolism of a dead body tailspins towards demise, resulting in the stiffening we are all familiar with. When a person dies, they can no longer use the chemicals that usually break these little bridges allowing for continued muscle contraction. When a person contracts their muscles, chemicals build bridges between muscle fibers, pulling the tissue along and then detaching to repeat the process. Famously known as the stiffening of a corpse, rigor mortis is brought on more by what the body can no longer do rather than something the body is doing. Though externally warm to the touch, the victim’s body would continue to cool internally until it reached the ambient outside temperature.Īfter three hours, rigor mortis would set in. To pass off a body in this state as living, the witnesses must have periodically heated the body (most likely in the summer sun) every few hours during their weekend. With each following hour, the body would have lost another one to two degrees. In the first hour, the body would likely drop a few degrees in external body temperature. To pass off the victim at parties and in public, the witnesses must have taken time to apply and reapply extensive makeup to the body of the victim.ĭuring the next one to two hours, the victim’s body would begin to cool during algor mortis. After the induced heroin overdose, the victim would have quickly exhibited pallor mortis, or a loss of color in the skin due to the end of blood flow, within minutes of death. Their “weekend at Bernie’s” should have been “weekend with a bloated, stiff, green corpse.”Īccording to basic forensic science, the human body after death is not a pretty thing. ![]() ![]() However, it is the opinion of this investigator that the witnesses’ testimony is faulty, based on the condition of the body. The witnesses stated that they had been with the body for a period of at least 24 hours since the victim passed away from an apparent heroin overdose. The victim was discovered in his beach home with several gunshot wounds in his chest. What follows is the coroner’s report for Lomax, employee of a large New York insurance firm, whose body was in the possession of witnesses Larry Wilson and Richard Parker over a short weekend at Lomax’s beach home. Nearly 25 years after Bernie Lomax was killed, a new coroner’s report sheds light on how his body endured so much trauma, and why the two responsible violated the Geneva Convention.
