PICKLE AUTOPSY DETERMINES CAUSE OF DEATH

(12/14/2004)

Mrs. Yoak's 9th grade students have been learning about various systems of the human body. Last week the students performed an autopsy on pickles that died mysterious deaths. Each pair of students had to open their patient with a Y-shaped incision, remove organs and perform various tests to determine a cause of death. After autopsy, causes of death ranged from severe head trauma causing fatal brain damage, knife and gun wounds to death by a mugging gone wrong. - By Kayala Miller
