I'm just saying, if he happened to die (which would never happen), his corpse might look like that. Perhaps if it was a fall?

158. For the first time the Dragons had sent an ambassador to Sharn, a quiet and unassuming Bronze named Vertigon. He lived quietly, spending much of his time in the guise of a human, reading in the libraries, visiting the finest restaurants, never seeming to either ask nor answer many questions, and meeting with the local heads of the Dragonmarked Houses.
Given the size of the room his body was found in it is likely that he died in human form, else he would never have fit through the door. As it is the room can barely contain his corpse.

160. The stone walls of the room are partially melted, and the wood deeply charred. Of the adventurers only blackened outlines remain. According to the sole remaining witness the last word spoken by a member of the group was 'whoops!'
The Auld Grump, like that never happened to you....

162. Not yet a corpse, but barring the immediate aid of healing magic there is nothing to prevent the victim from becoming one.
The victim, a changeling, has been strapped to a table, his skin cut by a razor sharp blade, and pinned back, exposing his anterior flesh, bone, and muscle. The pins are silver, and the cuts show exquisite delicacy.
163. The victim is found in a bloody spread near the bow of a ship at harbor - chunks of flesh still caught in the anchor chain, and flies buzz around the chainport and locker....
164. Why was the miller nailed to his millwheel? And did he drown, or was there some other cause of death, bruising from either the millrace or many, many blows darken the corpse.
165. And who crushed the miller's wife between the millstones?

Ooops!
I guess I should have read this thread before going on that killing spree!
From a case in the city of my birth (and slightly embellished):
166+ A family tavern in which the entire family has been slain by heavy crossbow bolts and deep cuts and stab wounds from largish knives, but for two children found cowering & nearly catatonic in the coldest, darkest part of the wine cellar. Also among the dead is a city watchman who was moonlighting as a bouncer in the tavern.
The children are taken to a healer.
A few days later, 2 more bodies are found in the street near another tavern in the neighborhood, each with property on their persons known to have belonged to the deceased tavern owners.
(The killers were the watchman's patrol partner and her 2 cousins. She was also moonlighting at the same tavern with her partner and masterminded the heinous crime. As they squabbled over the take, she killed her cousins.
Once they recover, the children can ID her from the original crime.)

167. A half-elf male and a half-orc female, both in their mid-20's, their corpses still entwined in the act of making love. A single spear has been plunged through his back and into and through her chest, pinning them both to the shabby inn bed. The inn in question rents rooms cheaply, often by the hour, and the clerk can identify the man as a local gigolo (if you can push him from Indifferent to Friendly). The half-orc woman's clothing appears well-made, but not extravagant, and her purse and other valuables are still in the room, untouched from where she laid them.
