Biography[]
The autopsy zombie was a resident of Evans City, Pennsylvania. In life, this individual was a male in his approximate mid-thirties with dark hair. The manner in which he died is unclear. His cadaver was taken to the Evans City Cemetery for burial, but he became one of several such individuals who were resurrected when a virus broke-out that turned the recently deceased into flesh-eating ghouls.
Wearing attire that only partially concealed his form, the man stumbled after a mourner named Barbara, who was already fleeing from another zombie. The autopsy zombie lumbered after her, but he stepped upon the cuff of his pants, which pulled the remainder of his clothing away, revealing his autopsy scar. Both zombies attacked Barbara as she locked herself in her car, but she managed to drive away.
