Flesheaters

Year 7 pupils had been solving a mystery death where a man had been found dead in a tunnel. A series of investigations ruled out varying causes of death, leaving us with cave slime and cave water being the main suspected causes of death.

The photograph shows a flesh sample that had 2 identical holes made in it.   The left hole was filled with cave water, the right hole with cave slime.  It is clear to see that the cave water has ‘eaten’ or digested the flesh.  This means the cave water is the most likely cause of death.  We passed a report back to the authorities who would need to investigate further.
