The autopsy continued, and aside from this leather-like substance in the intestines, no other discoveries were made. However, several clotted and shriveled blood clots were found, and when uncovered, obvious damage was seen on the intestines.
All this indicated that the deceased suffered from prolonged starvation, causing erosion and damage to the gastrointestinal tract, with even bleeding. As for the piece of leather-like substance, mainly because it couldn't be chewed and was too big, it got stuck in the duodenal bulb where there were already ulcers, and it remained there until death.
Shaking his head, he had now examined the deceased's rectum, which showed multiple linear damages. However, unlike the ulcers in the stomach and small intestines, these appeared to be scratches, irregular, and extremely fine, not caused by fingernails.
