Dr. Bell now cut a small section, no bigger than a postage stamp, from each organ and placed them in labeled plastic containers, and then piled the specimens in a box to be delivered to the histology lab. Overnight a machine would process the samples by replacing all the water in the specimen with paraffin. The specimens would then be cut into slices one two-hundredth of a millimeter thick, made into microscope slides and examined. The results, and the slides, would be sent back to Dr. Bell within twenty-four hours, so that he could complete the final autopsy report.

While Dr. Bell handled the specimens, Marie closed Patrick’s body. His remains would be stored in the morgue for some time, so she needn’t pretty up the body for a funeral home, but some decorum was necessary. Marie replaced the scalp over the skull and stitched it loosely into place. With a minimum of stitches she also reattached the head to the trunk. As Dr. Bell finished with each organ it was placed back in the chest cavity. When done, the chest was sewn together. The two doctors moved the body back to the gurney to be placed back in cold storage. Walking to the door they dropped their scrubs on the floor and left the room.

There are legends of coroners in the twenties who performed autopsies in their tuxedos, without getting a drop on themselves. The Bell family was not of the old school. While they were thorough, they were not especially neat. The inside of the room now looked like a battlefield surgery.
