NEW YORK (AP) -
Quincy, the TV medical ex-
aminer, is outraged by a
heinous murder: He pin-
points the time and cause of
death, doggedly pursues
the likely villain and - as
the hour ticks to a tidy end
-0Quincy solves the crime.
In the real world, it
doesn’t work that way.
medical examiners. say.
The things a medical ex-
aminer can learn in an
autopsy room, in a
laboratory, over a
microscope are mind-
boggling.
Consider maggots:
“Maggots,” Baden said,
“are our friends. They give
us an idea how long a per-
son has been dead.”
Flies are drawn to a
decaying corpse. They lay
eggs. Eggs grow into lar-
vae, or maggots. Maggots
grow into flies. ' _!

Gross may know a great
deal_about the killer: He
may know the killer’s sex,
race, hair color and blood
type.^ He may know
something about the clothes
the killer wore. He may
know all about the
murderer’s teeth. -
But Gross isn’t telling —

tipping the hand of detec-
tivesinvestigating the
murder, —-

“It can tell the race of the
killer. If the appropriate

No, they don’t do their
jobs the way Quincy does
his, medical examiners
say, but what they do is
more interesting and,
sometimes, far stranger
than fiction.
“We paint a pictur of a
slice of time — what the
situation was at the mo-
ment of death,’*' said New
York Medical Examiner
Michael Baden. "We never
know what we’re looking!
for. We never know what:
we’ll find.” .. . I

examiner, Dr. Elliot Gross,

last week with the slice of
