Thanks for posting this @citizen_sleuth.

I am unfamiliar with the term “remote” when describing the rib & nasal bone fractures. I presume this means the fractures did not occur at/around the time of death, but were sustained at an earlier point in time?

Please can someone correct me if I’m wrong!

Yes, that is my understanding of how the term "remote" is used in the medical sense.
