I've not seen the actual photo but if it's a reddish bruise like mark in the middle of his chest that you're talking about, it's most likely from the chest compressions during CPR. As far as I'm aware, they did not shock him as his heart was never in a shockable rhythm.
From what I can tell (as the photo is quite blurry) it is a distinct star shape. Others have commented that it is definitely a star shape as well. It is fairly high up on the middle of the chest. I think on the chest bone is how youd describe it. (corrrect me if Im wrong someone)
Does anyone know why the photo is blurry? It has been mentioned that this is not normal for autopsy photos, but I dont know as Ive only seen the one.
BTW For those that have not seen it, I will clarify for you that it was taken before the autopsy was started, so thankfully you dont actually see any of the autopsy in itself and the fact that it is blurry softens the blow visually I guess?.. but still in my way of thinking it is a very gruesome thing to see.
