Red spots found on a body during an autopsy are known as petechiae, or tardieu spots. They are usually spots of ecchymosis found under the pleura after death caused by suffocation.

Do adults get soft spots on the top of their skulls?

Adults do not typically develop soft spots on the top of their skulls. Soft spots, or fontanelles, are areas on an infant's skull where the bones have not yet fused, allowing for growth and passage through the birth canal. In adults, the skull is fully developed and the bones are fused, making soft spots unlikely. However, certain medical conditions or trauma may lead to changes in the skull's structure, but these are not the same as the soft spots seen in infants.
