It was mentioned in the podcast that the book details the medical examiner's autopsy of Dennis's body, which was exhumed 20 years after his death, and describes the injuries still visible on his body.
They said that you could still see the injuries on Dennis' body 20 years later.
I worked straight through the day and into the evening hours, and about 2.30 in the morning of the following morning, I had found the bowel, and in the mid-portion of the bowel, there was a defect present.
That was the defect that caused the bowel to spill contents into his cavity, and the cause of death in the child.
Children can certainly fall down and receive injuries, there's no question about that. But Dennis' injuries, you must understand, were delivered to deep-set organs inside of his body, the bowel.
The injuries we're talking about requires tremendous energy. And aside from automobile accidents or accidents of that nature, a child simply cannot generate that much energy just falling down the stairs or slipping on a wet bathroom floor.
