''When Phillips spoke about "some portions had been excised" (not some organs), it can be seen in the "in situ" description that he was talking about the "2 flaps of skin from the lower abdomen" which were lying next to the body.''
Hi George , I disagree with what your saying here , id argue that the coroner as talking about Chapmans organs when he is questioning Dr Phillips .
[Coroner] Was the whole of the body there? No; the absent portions being from the abdomen;
If the two ''flaps of skin'' from the lower abdoman were lying next to the body, why did Dr Phillips reply they were Absent ?
It would be a bit of a stretch to suggest that he meant ''absent from Chapmans abdomen but laying right there next to here body'', dont you think ?, given the question the coroner asked .
ALso this ,
Coroner] You do not think they could have been lost accidentally in the transit of the body to the mortuary? - I was not present at the transit. I carefully closed up the clothes of the woman. Some portions had been excised.
Dr Phillips is clearly talking about the crime scene here, and not the post mortem room .
Cheers Fishy.
