Massive blunt trauma prior to fire caused by crash

CAT Scan of lower thoracic and pelvic region of aviation accident victim who died of massive blunt trauma prior to fire caused by crash. One of the primary ways that medical investigators can determine whether or not a cadaver found in a fire scene died as a result of the fire is by examining the airways. If soot is found in the lungs, that means that they inhaled smoke, and were alive when the fire started.
