The doctor testified that Bella Bond died from the flow of oxygen being blocked or by a disruption of the heart caused by a blow to the chest area. However, Nields testified, his findings were not conclusive as to what caused the death of the toddler.
Shapiro later asked whether his autopsy findings are consistent with a child being punched in the stomach. Nields said he did find a contusion in Bella Bonds stomach area, but that he did not find any visible internal injuries to the stomach or other internal organs.
