.....how would a coroner go about removing a skeleton without destroying the body? I'm pretty sure this is nowhere in a coroner job description. I'd tell him the same thing.
So what you're saying is that Anon just asked the wrong person.
I would assume you would need to dissolve everything but the bones, unless you want to start cutting and peeling and pulling and scraping.
They use special beetles. Eats all the meat off nice and clean.
I went to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City and they have an area in the entrance where you can watch the beetles do their thing.
That would be something worth seeing
True or not this is now a fact in my mind.
They don't just throw a whole body in with them. But they do use them to finish cleaning the bones.
You just need a straw and some patience.
