I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
Sorry, but as I'm not a DNA analyst, I wouldn't have any idea.

When I was at the coroner's office, a typical day would be examining victim's clothing from a homicide or suicide, typing blood samples and testing gunshot residue samples. Now at the police department, a typical day is spent in front of the computer putting in latent prints that the officers or I have lifted from items and searching for a match, or checking past searches of new people put in the system. Then I might go out to process a burglary scene.

Examination of the heart would be done at the autopsy by a pathologist, and since I'm not a pathologist I'm afraid I cannot address your first question.

I'm sorry but I really don't know.

I haven’t worked any really crazy ones, and sorry but any semi crazy ones would take too long to explain.
Share Answer: 
No. Much blood will drain from all the cutting done during the autopsy, but no attempt is made to particularly remove it.
Share Answer: 
From an object? Sure, if you clean the surface thoroughly.
