Editing Jonestown (section)

===Medical examinations===
The only medical doctor to initially examine the scene at Jonestown was Mootoo, who visually examined over 200 bodies and later told a Guyanese coroner's jury of having seen needle marks on at least seventy. However, no determination was made as to whether those injections initiated the introduction of poison or whether they were so-called "relief" injections to quicken death and reduce suffering from convulsions from those who had previously taken poison orally. Mootoo and U.S. pathologist Lynn Crook determined that cyanide was present in some bodies, while analysis of the contents of the vat revealed several tranquilizers as well as [[potassium cyanide]] and [[potassium chloride]].<ref name="rites"/>

Plastic cups, Flavor Aid packets and syringes, some with needles and some without, littered the area where the bodies were found. Mootoo concluded that a gunshot wound to Annie Moore could not have been self-inflicted, though Moore had also ingested a lethal dose of cyanide.<ref name="guyanainquest">[http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/GuyanaInquest.pdf ''Guyana Inquest – Interviews of Cecil Roberts & Cyril Mootoo''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150205013735/http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/GuyanaInquest.pdf |date=February 5, 2015}}.

Guyanese authorities waived their requirement for [[autopsy|autopsies]] in the case of unnatural death. Doctors in the U.S. performed autopsies on only seven bodies, including those of Jones, Moore, Schacht and Carolyn Layton. Moore and Layton were selected among those autopsied, in part, because of the urging of the Moore family, including Rebecca Moore, the sister of the two victims, who was not a Temple member herself.<ref name="rites">[http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=16585 "Last Rights."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150205011836/http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=16585|date=5 February 2015}} ''Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple''.
