Question

As you drive along a roadside, you and your friend notice a dead deer that apparently was struck by a car. Your friend comments that she has never seen such a fat deer. “Did you see the size of its abdomen? It was huge!” As a student of forensics, how would you explain to your friend why the abdominal region of the dead deer was so large?

Answer 1

If you've ever seen a dead animal on the side of the road for a few days you'll notice that it will start to swell from the sun being on them all day. I would say its from the heat.
