The omentum was preternaturally yellow, and that part which covered the stomach was brownish.
The external part of the stomach was extremely discoloured with livid spots; the internal part was extremely inflamed, and covered almost entirely with extravasated blood.
The intestines were very pale and flabby, and in those parts especially which were near the stomach, there was much extravasated blood.
The liver was likewise sphacelated, in those parts particularly which were contiguous to the stomach.
The bile was of a very deep yellow; in the gall bladder we found a stone about the size of a large filbert.
The lungs were covered in every part with black spots.
The kidneys, spleen and heart were likewise greatly spotted; there was found no water in the pericardium.
In short, we never beheld a body in which the viscera were so universally inflamed and mortified.
It is our real opinion, that the cause of Mr. Blandy's death was poison.
