Can anyone explain to me the difference between sharp force injuries and blunt force injuries? I helped look for this kid when he was first missing. A cop finally found him several months later in an abandoned building that was quite a ways from where everyone thought that he might be. So now the medical examiner says that he died of sharp force injuries but that he found no blunt force injuries. Just trying to make something of that. It doesn't really clear anything up in my mind. I wonder if they are talking about the cuts on his hands, and I wonder if those were part of the cause of death, or if they just threw that in?

I may have figured this out all by myself without your guys helping me. I'm pretty proud of myself.

Every time I go back to the newspaper article on the internet, they have added information to it. They are sort of answering all of my questions as they go along.

The story I heard from the radio was that the kid died from hypothermia. He fell down a flight of stairs which is where the sharp force injuries came from. Sad deal.

Yes it is sad. As the article progresses, it says that he fell through a glass door at the bottom of the stairs. A lot of people were looking for him. The place that I was working at the time was right along the route that everyone thought that he had taken the night that he disappeared. For weeks during our lunch hour, we would go out looking in the parking lots, and back behind our building. There were people who are critical that it took so long to find him, but no one had any reason to think that he had wandered that far off course.
