I was listening to the radio yesterday morning and they were talking to a forensics expert, who said that when someone dies, the bacteria in his or her body builds up gases that are eventually released. In this case, the gases that built up helped to eventually expel the baby. That's why the baby's body is in much better shape than Laci's body (her body was exposed to the elements much longer than the baby's body was). The forensics expert also said that her head and legs weren't necessarily cut off, but that they could have had weights tied to them to keep her down, and the ropes that tied the weights down could have sliced through her neck and legs.
