** NEW DISCOVERY REGARDING BOOTH AUTOPSY PHOTO

[John E.]

So they really did cut into the corpse during the autopsy. I never knew that.

Yes. I spoke to Dr. Houmes about what the procedure may have looked like to others. As you know, some spectators mentioned that it looked like they were taking his head off.

I'm sorry to get graphic here, but the site of them using a cutting instrument to open up the neck and remove the vertebrate may have led some to believe the Booth's corpse was getting beheaded.

If his head was not completely detached, it would have been clinging to tissue.
