When a person dies, the blood settles to the lowest part of the body. Since we lay people on their backs, that means blood goes to the posterior or back side--spine, back, back of head, back of arms, buttocks, back of legs, heels, etc. Anywhere the person is touched roughly or hit, those areas can bruise very easily where blood has pooled. If a person received traumas just before death, bruising will show up after they die. For example, if strangled, the blood vessels were squeezed in the next, so the coroner might see actual finger or hand marks as bruises, left by the murderer's actions. Otherwise, a deceased body should not have bruising, nor have numerous bruises. If a body has numerous bruises, someone either hurt the person when alive or mishandled the body after death.
