"I'm looking under her eye. Umm...it appears...her eyes didn't really
have bags underneath them or any...you know... dark circles...none of
that. Her complexion was totally clear. But this picture presents with
like what we call a "raccoon's eye"...uh...in the medical field.,..
just bruising underneath the eye due to some type of trauma to either
the nose or... or the eyebrow bone or possibly the zygomatic...the
bone right underneath the eye...umm...where there would be some
bruising right there. It's not a great amount of bruising uh...but it

"Raccoon eyes (also known in the UK as panda eyes) or periorbital
ecchymosis is a sign of basal skull fracture.[1] It results from blood
from skull fracture tracking down into the soft tissue around the
eyes.
Raccoon eyes may also be a sign of disseminated neuroblastoma[2] or
amyloidosis."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_skull_fracture
"A basilar skull fracture (or Basal skull fracture) is a linear skull
fracture involving the basilar bone of the skull. The occipital bone
forms the floor of the skull, where the brain is held.
This type of fracture is rare, occurring as the only fracture in just
4% of severe head injury patients.[1][2]
Such fractures can cause tears in the sack compartments that hold the
brain, with resultant leakage of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) into
the ear (CSF otorrhea) or the nose (CSF rhinorrhea). These signs are
pathognomonic for basilar skull fracture.[3]
Basilar skull fractures can be caused by a blow to the back of the
head, or by sudden deceleration of torso but not head (as in traffic
accidents), resulting in separation of the suture between the
occipital and temporal bones."

Medical examiner Joan Wood now is calling the 1995 death of

prosecutors to rethink their case against the Church of Scientology.
Wood's original ruling called the manner of death "
undetermined ." (SP Times, February 23, 2000)
