OFFER OF TESTIMONY

1. Question – (Q): Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?

CASTILLO JR.?
14. Q: Can you state before the Honorable court your findings or report on
your examination on the body of the late ELPIDIO BARBADILLO
CASTILLO JR.?
A: None.
16. Q: Are there any signs, marks, or indications that the body struggled from
something heavy or bumped into something hard?
A: None.
17. Q: Based on your expert opinion and postmortem findings, are there any
indications that the death was caused by other things besides from
Hemorrhagic Shock secondary to gunshot wounds?
A: Yes, in simple terms, Hemorrhagic shock occurs when the body begins
to shut down due to large amounts of blood loss. People suffering injuries
that involve heavy bleeding may go into hemorrhagic shock if the bleeding
isn’t stopped immediately.
When heavy bleeding occurs, there’s not enough blood flow to
the organs in your body. Blood carries oxygen and other essential
substances to your organs and tissues. When heavy bleeding occurs, these
substances are lost more quickly than they can be replaced and organs in
the body begin to shut down.
As your heart shuts down and fails to circulate an adequate
amount of blood through your body, symptoms of shock occur. Blood
pressure plummets and there’s a massive drop in body temperature.
A: Yes, sir.
