  • The prisoner, Dotson, was “found dead” so who knows how many hours the body was lying there.

    That pretty much precludes any use of the heart for transplant.

    His relatives said they received the body in a decomposed state, but that could have been poor storage by the coroner before or after the autopsy, or the body might have been well hidden inside the prison so it was a long time before someone found it.

    The article isn’t very clear on the condition of the body at each stage of handling.

    What’s in the article is probably all the information that the reporter could get out of the prison authority, the state Department of Forensic Sciences, and the University.




















  • The Humpty Dumpty name pre-dates the image of an egg character that was created by Lewis Carroll’s Through The Looking Glass.

    A popular theory says the rhyme may have originated by the story of a large cannon used by the Royalists in the English Civil War.

    Humpty Dumpty was a term, probably with derogatory inferences, that was applied to large or oversized persons or objects.

    The Humpty cannon allegedly fell off the wall that it was stationed upon, thanks to Parliamentary forces undermining it, and was severely damaged.

    The falling cannon story became a metaphor for the Royalist leader, King Charles I, who was believed to be large sized himself. He lost the Civil war, and his head, therefore he proverbially “had a great fall”
