Recapitulation of the Post-mortem Appearances
of Death by Starvation

1. In the Body generally.—Marked general emaciation of the body. The skin is dry and shrivelled, sometimes more or less covered with unhealthy-looking pimples, the muscles soft, reduced in size, and free from fat. A peculiar fœtid acrid odour is given off from the body.

2. In the Solid Viscera of the Thorax and Abdomen.—The liver is small, the gall-bladder distended with bile, and the heart and kidneys deprived of any surrounding fat. All the internal organs are shrivelled and bloodless.

3. In the Stomach and Intestines.—The stomach in some cases is quite healthy, but more or less stained with bile; in others it is found collapsed, contracted, empty, and the mucous membrane more or less ulcerated. The intestines are thin, contracted, empty, and so shrunken that the canal is almost obliterated. According to the late Dr. Duncan, the intestines are frequently found inflamed and ulcerated.
