Thanks Mike in advance, read your explanation in more detail,


Wrote it a bit quicker than my usual habit, mainly thinking ( annoyed ) that possibly evidence of some poor soul's last moments being churned into junk science and tabloid style story thrashing. Specifically I think they are dealing with samples of human blood from a trauma situation ( bleeding, clotting, platelet activation .... )
