6) What other evidence linked Crippen to the remains in the cellar? They found a pajama shirt that matched pajama bottoms found in Cora’s dresser. 7) What other inconsistencies were found in the case when the evidence was re-examined? Why do you think these inconsistencies were ignored at the time of the Crippen trial? The forensic pathologist, Benerd Spilsbury, who claimed the tissue was a scar, helped prosecutors gain over 250 convictions in murder trials.
Firstly, written accounts from Cornelius Tacitus state that the Tollund Man’s death may have been linked to a North German religious tribal custom. It is noted in Tacitus’ account that the people of North Germany acted as sacrifices to the Goddess of Spring and the tribe believed “each spring she rode through the tribes” then have cleansed herself in a “hidden lake “before “returning back to her holy wood”. He also writes how the process of cleansing the statue of the Spring goddess was most likely carried out by slaves whom were later to be sacrificed to the God as human prizes. This procession meant that the statue would be carried into a wooden cart, pulled by the slaves and then buried with the slaves later on. Given that the small statue of the God was found near the Tollund Man’s body, it is reasonable to conclude that Tacitus’ account provides a thorough understanding as to why the Tollund Man was killed.
Lindow Man Writing Task Explain what the archaeological and scientific examinations reveal about the life and death of Lindow Man. Both archaeological and scientific examinations have been incredibly useful in investigations surrounding the life and death of Lindow II, a body found in a peat bog in England in 1984. Both visual and scientific techniques as well as the historical knowledge of the Celtic festival of Beltain have helped to reveal Lindow Man’s story. A close, visual examination of Lindow Man’s body provided basic facts about his physical appearance. It was deduced through this examination that the bog body was a 25-30yr old, well-built and well groomed male with brown facial hair and a beard.
We know this as the boys, instead of feeling the adventure and thrill of something, stood their static, trying to comprehend this revelation of death that has come onto them. “We talked about the mule for weeks...Death dramatized, something of unbelievable importance being revealed right in front of us.” [29] The fact that the sight of the mule dramatized death really shows that this find was no ordinary carcass. It was so significant in changing their views on life and death that they talked about it for weeks ahead. The boys saw death in a completely different light before. “If we saw a king snake...we'd break off a pine branch and kill it, smashing the small head till the blood
Did Anastasia Romanov really die at the hands of Bolshevik’s? The Romanov's were the last imperial family of Russia, they were brutally murdered at the hand of the Bolsheviks, but did all the members of the family die or were there survivors? I think Anastasia Romanov survived because when the grave was found something was missing not just something but two body's. The detectives were able to identify the Czar, his wife, the servants and doctor, and three of the five children. Based on the lack of proof found at the grave of the Czar family and servants, the two missing bodies were definitely Princess Anastasia and her brother, and she is still alive.

Victor was a scientist who lived happily in his mansion; he lived in solitude, just with his dog “William”. One day, little William got lost in the woods and couldn’t find the way back.

The entire town where he lived called him “Victor the Mad Scientist”, this because since his dog’s death, he started collecting dead body parts from the cemetery for his experiments.
Note that the tale, which seemed at line 20 like it was going to be about lechery, may have taken a different turn. As you'll find out below, the story is about the dangers of avarice, or greed. You learn that the three roisterers have decided to avenge the death of a companion by seeking out Death and murdering him. What might it mean that these three go looking for Death? If death wasn't personified (depicted as though it were a person) in this way, what could you say about the quest these roisterers are embarking upon?
One day he discovers a notebook on the ground called the Death Note with instructions on how to use it. The first instruction seems simple enough, reading: “The human whose name is written in this notebook shall die.” At first Light passed it off as a joke thinking that this “Death Note” is no different from one of those chain-letters one can receive. However, he soon realized its power was very real after he tried it out by writing the name of a criminal he had seen on the news. Approximately forty seconds after Light wrote the criminal’s name in the notebook, the criminal died of a heart-attack. Even though it did not make sense to Light that a notebook had the power
