I would be fun if someone could digitally recreate his face from the skull. I believe it is done to some extent by forensics labs when they have unidentified remains. The software for this is out there; we've all seen it used on television documenteries. Of course we have pictures, but a 3-D recreation of his face would be interesting.

With no experience or expertise, It looks to me as though the Lefort fracture to the skull shows no signs of healing of the fracture lines. That leads me to conclude the fractures were postmortem or occurred very late in life. I wonder if the hanging could have provided a mechanism of injury that cause the fractures
