Three sharp-force injuries were documented in the autopsy.
The fatal neck wound, located just right of the midline above the collarbone, penetrated downward from right to left. The track passed through neck tissue, damaged the thyroid gland and severed the carotid artery before penetrating into the left chest cavity.
A second, superficial stab wound to the upper right chest injured only soft tissue.
A third wound below the left kneecap penetrated approximately 1.5 inches into soft tissue and impacted the bone.
