Scordi-Bello Autopsy Report for John O'Keefe
Scordi-Bello's autopsy report, with injury diagrams, skull-fracture findings, bruising around the eyes and right-arm abrasions, reviewed by experts from both sides.
About
The foundational forensic document for cause and manner of death. The prosecution's own medical examiner found blunt impact injuries of the head and hypothermia but declined to rule the death a homicide, which defense used against the vehicle-strike theory. Both parties' experts cited injury descriptions from the report: the skull fracture supported the prosecution, while the absence of lower-extremity injuries and the 'undetermined' manner of death were central to the defense.
The official autopsy report prepared by Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, Medical Examiner, documenting the external and internal examination of John O'Keefe's body, including body diagrams showing injury locations and measurements, findings regarding a posterior skull fracture, radiating fracture lines through the cranial fossae, periorbital ecchymoses, and superficial abrasions on the right arm. Reviewed and cited by multiple prosecution and defense experts across both trials.
