The Days Inn Audio and Autopsy Records: What Police Evidence Proves About Selena’s Last Words

A fresh look at The Days Inn Audio and Autopsy Records: What Police Evidence Proves About Selena’s Last Words, highlighting expert commentary.

Nueces County Medical Examiner Dr. Lloyd White conducted the post-mortem examination. His anatomical findings explained why Selena’s ability to walk and speak was nothing short of extraordinary.

The expanding hollow-point slug hit her back from a distance of under two feet, severing the right subclavian artery and the right subclavian vein. The trauma severed the major pipeline carrying oxygenated blood from the heart to the right arm and brain.

Internal bleeding was massive. Dr. White noted that her chest cavity filled with over two liters of blood in under three minutes, while massive external hemorrhaging pooled across the lobby floor.

Cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Louis Elkins testified that by the time paramedics reached the lobby, clinical brain death had likely set in. Selena’s cardiovascular system was empty.

The fact that she managed to sprint 390 feet while her circulatory pressure collapsed, formulate words, name her killer, and warn staff to lock the door demonstrates sheer survival instinct.
