Bending fractures usually results in the creation of a "Messerer Wedge" this is especially useful in reconstruction of traffic accidents because it can tell us what was the direction of the force that acted on the bone. In the picture we see a right tibial bone from the front. The pedestrian was hit by the car.
From the Front
From the Back
From the left side
From the right side
It is impossible to tell the direction of the force from this picture

Raspberry red (cherry red) lividity:
Can be observed in nitrogen intoxication
can be observed only in carbon monoxide intoxication
can be observed in death due to hypothermia
It's completely inconclusive, we cannot suspect any cause of deaths due to the fact that it can be observed in various death causes
A and C are correct

Multiorgan trauma
Fatty embolism
Blood loss
Hypothermia
Drowning

C and D are correct
