Caylee Anthony's Death: A Case Study

Two years, eleven months and six days later, Caylee was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy Anthony. After investigation began, it was revealed that Caylee was actually last seen alive on June 16, 2008. This discrepancy triggered the mass manhunt for 2 year old Caylee Anthony. One day later ,on July 16, 2008, Caylee’s mother, Casey Anthony was arrested for child neglect reporting that her daughter disappeared after dropping her off at a babysitter, Zenieda Fernandez-Gonzalez, who had also disappeared and not reporting it after nearly a month. From July 17, 2008 to August 27, 2008, law enforcement focused on Casey Anthony as a prime suspect in her daughter’s disappearance. Throughout that time, Casey’s vehicle was searched with cadaver dogs positively picking up the scent of human remains. “Authorities say an air sample test from Anthony's car indicate there were human remains in the

Casey Anthony is an Ohio-born and Florida-raised woman that had a daughter named Caylee Anthony be born on August 9, 2005. In the summer of June 2008, following a major argument with her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, who were questioning her suitability as a mother figure, Casey left her parents’ home with Caylee. Over the next couple of weeks, Cindy kept reaching out to Casey concerned about both her and Caylee’s whereabouts. Every time Casey was inquired about Caylee, she would report that Caylee was out under the care of her nanny, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. Nothing seemed amiss until July 13, 2008 when George and Cindy received a notice that Casey’s car was currently being held in a tow yard. Upon their arrival to pick up the car,

As stated before, when the body dies the soul dies as well. Lucretius follows this by providing evidence to support this claim. He first affirms that “[the soul] is made up of exceedingly fine particles” which explains why, despite the physical nature of the soul, “when the whole soul has now left the entire body, / still the external configuration of the limbs / preserves itself unchanged and not a speck of weight is lost” (3.68; 3.215-217).

The “performers” of the trial played a crucial role in the trial, the verdict and the informal perceptions of Casey Anthony. The prosecutor and defense both played contrasting roles in shaping their client/opponent legally and informally, in the media. The

The mummification process is done in two phases, the first being embalming and the latter being wrapping and burial. There was a special place for embalming to take place known as the ibu. The ibu was called the place of purification. The first thing the embalmers do is to clean his body with aromatic palm wine and rinse it with Nile water. The next step involves removing all but a select few of the internal organs. The process used to remove the internal organs changed over time and varied with the wealth of the body in question. The heart was left in the body because of its necessity as the focal point of mental and emotional stability. The body’s fluids and rags used in this phase are left with the body for its burial. The body is left for a period of

As posited by the Ecclesiastes writer, physical death in general is where the body returns to the dust from which it came and the spirit to God who gave it. (Eccl 12:7). The term death is not restricted to physical death; but rather,

oh the animal dies and gets buried under a ton of dirt. That would just cause decomposition and worm food. Dying is only the first step to becoming fossilized. Organisms become fossilized by getting trapped in amber, trapped in asphalt, buried in rock, frozen, or they can become petrified which is when minerals replace the decomposing organism. Being trapped in asphalt is the most common of these.

When burying a dead body into the ground there are several processes of decomposition going on that leave out foul odor deep into the ground that can cause diseases spread and completely contaminate the whole area depending on the scope that the cemeteries cover. The effects of these

In American society, it has been understood that mummification was done to prevent the decomposition of the dead body. With my limited knowledge on this topic, I too believed this was the case. However, it turns out that their may have been other reasons for

Skeletal remains are usually all that’s left if grave robbers disrupt the burial sites or if the burial sites experience and are destroyed by natural unearthing’s, they still offer many details of what the person or people have been through.

The stage of cellular death includes eye changes in the form of loss of corneal reflex, shrunked eye and pale retina. Algor mortis (body cooling), hypostasis, rigor mortis are early postmortem changes that occur in cellular death. Late postmortem changes include putrefaction. The process of postmortem decomposition could be divided into five stages: Fresh (autolysis), putrefaction, black putrefaction, butyric fermentation and dry decay. These gross changes will be quite unreliable with times [6,

Death is the transition from corporeal to non-corporeal. The body becomes a part of the planet and the acorporeal becomes a part of the universe.

That’s true, the body is disposed of accordingly, just being another additive to the ground. But the life, the soul, that was inside the body leaks out and searches for another one to occupy. The reason for a spirit to kill is that, once one body is killed, another is born. The spirit that caused the demise of the deceased will take the corresponding new body for their soul to reside and it live life

The components continue after death but do not take form in the “immortal soul” and
