Details of Caylee Anthony's autopsy report released


Caylee Anthony

On Friday, Judge Stan Strickland ruled the autopsy report of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony would be made public.

According to the autopsy report, written by Orange County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia and several others, there were several overlapping pieces of duct tape on the child’s skull. 

Investigators found “an almost complete skeleton of a young child with only multiple small bones missing. The missing bones include small bones from the wrists and hands, as well as fingers and ankle, hyoid and patella,” according to the report.

The autopsy also stated, “Although there is no trauma evident on the skeleton, there is duct tape over the lower facial region still attached to head hair. The duct tape was clearly placed prior to decomposition keeping the mandible in place.”

The autopsy findings also corroborated the evidence released June 12, which indicated there were no drugs in Caylee’s system when she died.

Caylee’s mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with the toddler’s murder and her trial is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12.

    Its so sad. So many people would love to have children and cant even adopt them because it cost so much these days. It makes me sick that people can just play god with children. They have safe havens these days....take your child to a hospital or fireman, police officer....but don't hurt them!!!!! They are human beings with feelings, and creativity and deserve the chance in life that god gave us!

    I sorta was willing to give Casey a little doubt in that maybe the death was accidental, but not now with tape covering both the mouth and the nose.

    I hope that they give her the elecrric chair.
    she derservies it. Why did Cindy wash the clothes. she's just as guilty. Trying to cover up everything.she belongs behind bars to.They were hoping that they wouldn't fine the bady. but it back fired. And the family new she was dead.So tell Cindy to stop her lieing and get on with her life. She should be on her granddaughters side. Not her daughter that murderd her own child.If that was me I would have nothing to do with my daughter. The Prosecutors should try and get some of these top laywers like the murder does. and don't have to pay for anything

    look closely at the beautiful picture of caylee with her hand of her chin notice the bruises by her arms i think there is more here than meets the eye it would not surprise me in the least that she had an accomplice.she totally is a person who deserves the death penalty and her accomplice.
    children are a blessing i am outraged that this angel was taken in this manner being a mother of five and grandmother of eight.this story will always touch my heart in a deep profound way. from canada
