Paul O'Carroll asked Stephen R. Wilk:

Dear Stephen, My name is Paul O'Carroll and I found your book extremely helpful for my (amateur) research project on the Late Bronze Age Collapse. Is there any chance that you could send me a digital image of the condition of Gorgonism which you include in your book? I would of course attribute it to you in my work. Yours most Sincerely, Paul O'Carroll

Stephen R. Wilk I'm not sure what you mean by "Gorgonism". If you mean the corpse photograph, I'd prefer not to, partially because I'm not looking to sensationalize the image, and because I obtained it under conditions of trust. If you look through medical books on conditions of death, as I did, you should be able to find similar images.
