The answer is A, C, E. This is a common finding if death occurs soon after a head injury which causes severe damage to cerebral tissue.

Trivial injury (particularly in the elderly) may result in slow haemorrhage from the bridging veins which produces a slowly expanding haematoma.

Fracture of the skull, particularly the temporal bone, may result in tearing of a meningeal vessel; classically there is a lucid interval followed by headache, drowsiness and coma.

Rupture of an aneurysm (B) usually produces a subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Scarring (D) is a sign of previous head injury.
