Goo guy, an update

So goo guy was last seen fighting with people. (Things do not seem to have turned out well for him...) All this means that we have to examine his bones for signs of trauma, as there is precious little soft tissue to go mucking around with.

The thing is, he's got enough soft tissue to get in the way of the bones-- (not enough to get a good look at, but clearly enough to cover the bones with, well, goo.)

So the way you get rid of soft tissue is you cook him until it falls off. The problem with that is that cooking causes shrinking, which would keep us from comparing any weapon with the marks on the bones, which is kind of the point of the whole exercise. So he gets a soak. With meat tenderizer.

We disarticulate the arms and legs at the shoulders and hips and dunk him in a water bath with some meat tenderizer, checking on him every week or so to see if he's "done."

Well, he's not done, but he's also not getting any done-er, so we go ahead and examine him as is. No wounds anywhere, so far as we can tell, which is not to say he didn't get beaten to death, it's just to say that we don't see any gunshot wounds or stab wounds or fractures or, really, anything that helps us figure out what happened to him...
