Kathleen Savio's Death #1

[SuziQ]

I have some thoughts on Kathleen's Autopsy Report, other than the obvious errors in Time of Death and Autopsy time.

My thinking is that unless something is high priority/suspicious they don't do a thorough exam...........like x-rays for instance.

Rarely do Autopsies take place immediately upon receiving the body, and I think Kathleen actually died on Sunday, Feb. 29th, not Monday, March 1st which would account for the time errors on report, they were dated wrong.

I reviewed three death reports I have in my possession that occurred in my family. The one death that occurred in my home had the wrong day/date of death, it actually reflected the following day and was filled out at the hospital.

On one Death Certificate, it reflected the correct day/date as he passed in a hospital, but they put the wrong age (couldn't do the math I guess) and was signed by a doctor who wasn't even working at the hospital that day.

If Drew had the children for weekend visitation it would seem he would return the children on Sunday night, not on a Monday..................just my thoughts here :hand:

I'm going to have to agree with all of the above. It does state the date of injury is unknown. And bringing the kids home Sunday night sounds right.

I have thought many times when Steve claimed Drew started screaming what am I going to tell my kids after finding Kathleen ? He is a trained LE officer & should of been able to keep his wits about him. Does anyone else think this is just to weird?

I think any husband that discovers their wife deceased in a bathtub, LE officer or not, would have a reaction.

I think DP's reaction was more of panic ("What am I going to tell my kids?") than of shock and sadness IMHO.

Nope Spend some time with them outside their job and some are true 'wussies'. As with several people, we are one thing at work and another at home.

IMO:

Lion was with someone WHO WOULD EXPECT a reaction like the one he got from DP.

Again, IMO, it was staged as he already knew that Kathleen would be found dead in the tub.

Oh, his wits were around him and his cronies in blue, that is why it's only in the year of 2007 that this scene is being REINVESTIAGED!!!

Autopsy results are supposed to be part of public record and subject to the Freedom of Information Act, right? They probably have a lock down on them while they are investigating the case but once the investigation has concluded they *should* be publicly accessible.

Yea I do....kinda fake to me. Also I may be reading too much into it but his comment to Geraldo concerning Kathleen being exhumed went something like "now here they are going to exhume her and have another coroner say something else" (paraphrasing) made me think he knows they will say something else.

Over on GretaWirethey're saying LE never let Kathleen's family know to be at the cemetery for raising her out.

Sounds like the same coroner was there......

Do you'se think there will be another cover up?
Especially since they aren't going to release the autopsy report.

MSNBC Article on Kathleen being exhumed http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21769873/

There is a brief aerial video of them lifting the casket out.

Sorry if this has already been posted.

The coroner HAS to be there. From what I understand, he's the one that issues the order to exhume the body in the first place.

I don't think there will be a cover up. Seems like the coroner's pretty ticked that this happened in the first place.

Hmmmmmm...............

The autopsy of Savio, performed by a Will County corner's forensic pathologist three weeks after her death.

If the above is correct, then the date of Autopsy maybe should have read March 21st????

 

[Littledeer]

3 weeks AFTER HER DEATH?????

That doesn't make sense.

Wtf? I wonder when her funeral was? Anyone find the actual obit?

 

[Taximom]

No if she was found sitting up, but slumped over gravity would have drawn the blood to the lowest point. Her legs and her rear would have been lowest. She might have had some minor lividity on her face chest area, but most would have been the rear

Right. On Greta last night the friend of DP's that found her said he saw her first and she was SITTING UP leaning towards her left a bit, head bent over with hair in her face. I can't remember his exact words but he did not say her face was close to her knees.

Blood should have settled in the backs of her thighs and her bottom.

And how do you drown while sitting up?

I really hope they took good crime scene photos.

I suppose now DP will be saying Kathleen had a mystery man in her life and THAT man probably killed her. :slap:

 

[Taximom]

How long do you continue bleeding after you die? Why would her hair be so bloody if she had drowned in water? Wouldn't the water have washed the blood out?

I thought you stopped bleeding shortly after you die....

Don't know, and never have seen an obit..........

I doubt they even took any photos as it wasn't a Crime Scene then....
