    When the Coroners examined The Duke's remains, they found 40 pounds of impacted feces in his colon!

    This is unbelievable!

    Not unbelievable at all. When I worked as a Embalmer I witnessed a similar situation during a autopsy on a middle aged man. Impacted colon was the cause of death. I don't recall the feces being weighed though.

    It's not true!! I did some checking. There was NO autopsy on John Wayne but he did die of colon cancer.

    It is not just witnessing childbirth that some men will faint but autopsies can have the same effect. I know a couple of people that will pass out cold at the mere sight of blood.

    I witnessed many autopsies and wished I had gone to medical school to become Pathologist.

    No, I don't much like dead people when they're in one piece so I have no interest in watching them get cut up.

    Yep, many. Medical autopsies aren't done much any more, as insurance doesn't pay for them and the doctors don't want them done, because if the pathologist finds a medical error...lawsuit. Almost all autopsies now are of the forensic variety and they can be very long procedures.

    I'll admit it. I looked one up on YouTube last night. :rolleyes:
    I don't think it is quite the same, watching a video. Would not care to see a real one.
