At least some of H's wounds were likely caused by birds/other scavengers, which tend to find a dead animal's weak spots, such as small holes previously made by parasites. The Vet Inst has not yet said anything official about the external wounds. The police called them 'superficial'

The Vet Inst. is releasing a full report w/in two weeks. Still many questions to be answered, incl: How did the stick get lodged in his mouth? Was it a piece of driftwood or something human-made? Was the primary cause of death indeed starvation? And how do we explain the full extent of H's wounds?
