murder trial of Kenneth Ivall.
Dr. Michael Pollanen is Ontario's Chief Forensic Pathologist and he presented
some of the photographs from Ed Wilson's autopsy yesterday.
Wilson's face was very badly beaten and Pollanen says he found numerous
lacerations, abrasions and bruises on his face.
Dr. Pollanen says blunt force trauma to Wilson's face and head caused extensive bleeding and that led him to choke on his own blood.
Crown Attorney Mary-Ann Mousseau asked the pathologist whether there was a single fatal blow that caused his death.
Pollanen answered that would have been a simplification of this case.
Ed Wilson died as a result of the multiple injuries he sustained.
He did confirm that Wilson was dead before he was run over by a train.
He adds that if he had received proper medical attention, there is no reason
why he should have died from his injuries.
