I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
Sorry, but as I'm not a DNA analyst, I wouldn't have any idea.

When I was at the coroner's office, a typical day would be examining victim's clothing from a homicide or suicide, typing blood samples and testing gunshot residue samples. Now at the police department, a typical day is spent in front of the computer putting in latent prints that the officers or I have lifted from items and searching for a match, or checking past searches of new people put in the system. Then I might go out to process a burglary scene.

Examination of the heart would be done at the autopsy by a pathologist, and since I'm not a pathologist I'm afraid I cannot address your first question.

I'm sorry but I really don't know.

Are postal workers more disgruntled than other workers?
No. Much blood will drain from all the cutting done during the autopsy, but no attempt is made to particularly remove it.

I haven’t worked any really crazy ones, and sorry but any semi crazy ones would take too long to explain.

From an object? Sure, if you clean the surface thoroughly.
