    Berg beheading: No way, say medical experts
    By Ritt Goldstein

     
    "I would have thought that all the people in the vicinity would have been
    covered in blood, in a matter of seconds ... if it was genuine," said
    Simpson. Notably, the act's perpetrators appeared far from so. And
    separately Nordby observed: "I think that by the time they're ... on his
    head, he's already dead."

    Providing another basis for their findings, in the course of such an
    assault, an individual's autonomic nervous system would react, typically
    doing so strongly, with the body shaking and jerking accordingly. And while
    Nordby noted that "they rotated and moved the head", shifting vertebrae that
    should have initiated such actions, Simpson said he "certainly didn't
    perceive any movements at all" in response to such efforts.

    During the period when Berg's captors filmed the decapitation sequence,
    circumstances indicate that he had already been dead "a quite uncertain
    length of time, but more than ... however long the beheading took", Simpson
    stated. Both Simpson and Nordby also noted the difficulty in providing
    analysis based on the video, the inherent limitations presented by this. But
    both also felt that Berg had seemed drugged.

    A particularly significant point in the video sequence occurred as Berg's
    captors attacked him, bringing the supposedly fatal knife to bear. "The way
    that they pulled him over, they could have used a dummy at that point,"
    reflected Simpson regarding what the video portrayed. Separately, Nordby
    said Berg does not "appear to register any sort of surprise or any change in
    his facial expression when he's grabbed and twisted over, and they start to
    bring this weapon into use".
