the difference between "broken neck" and "decapitated" (re: the boy in KS)

[niyad]

do you think that the media knows the difference between "broken neck" and "decapitated".

or, to be fair, was the decapitation truth only released very late?

2. Yes, I think they do and no, I don;t think they were told that at first.

Next complaint.

3. I saw somewhere

that the poor child 's head was severed from the spine, not the body.

4. The word "decapitation" may be correct.

Most people think of decapitation as a head off the body and rolling away. However, that's not the only correct definition. Internal decapitation is basically the head being knocked off the spine completely, no break in the skin needed. Most victims of this type of traumatic decapitation die due to extreme neurological trauma to the spinal cord and the base of the brain - only some tiny number, I think around 1%, of victims survive it.

5. Disgusting and appeals to the base curiosity

Let it alone-The poor child is dead, family in grief. What puerile continuation of how he died serve? Sickening discussion and rather ghoulish . Let the investigators and police do their job without wondering and speculating over the condition of his death on the internet.

8. amazingly enough, this wasn't about internet comments, but about news reports from

yesterday.

6. "Rapidly Expanding Gases" vs "Explosions."

Same shit, different day.
