00:00Time of death?
00:01Tricky, with it being so cold in here.
00:03But I'd say he's been dead between 9 and 12 hours.
00:07Well, that doesn't fit.
00:09What's around midnight last night doesn't fit.
00:11Sorry about that.
00:13Yeah, I know.
00:14Just unless Beddarden sat there all night.
00:18First impressions, pretty much as it looks.
00:21Two hard blows to the skull, almost certainly with that.
00:25First, the right of the cranium above the ear
00:28would probably have felled him.
00:30Second, to the center of the head.
00:32The assailant was facing him?
00:33Yes.
00:34First blow would have caused bleeding
00:35into the cranial cavity.
00:37Second blow might have caused sputtering.
00:39If the assailant were right-handed,
00:40I'd expect their right arm, perhaps even the chest,
00:43to be bloodied.
00:49It's quite a place to meet your maker.
