'I'm relying on the facts and the findings in the case for me to come to the conclusion that strangulation was the cause of death.'
Dr. Jason Morin told the British Columbia Supreme Court jury under cross-examination that the teen, who cannot be identified under the terms of a publication ban, had many relatively minor injuries on her head and knees.
Morin said the girl's body wasn't moved after post-death "lividity" set in, which involves blood pooling and discoloration of the skin. He said again Tuesday during cross-examination that he was "confident" it was strangulation that caused the girl's death. He said under cross-examination Tuesday it would be "unexpected" to find a mass of fluid in a body if the person had stood up, though he couldn't provide any expert opinion on the specifics. Morin said he did not measure the amount of fluid at the time of autopsy.
