General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
From a police report from Peru relating to the death of a tourist for translation to British English.
Context:
en este acto el testigo XXX nos refiere que el cuerpo del fallecido se encontraba con los pies con dirección a la pista y la cabeza encima de la acera ***en cúbito central*** y el rostro con dirección al este, refiriendo que al ver la sangre volteó el cuerpo para darle los primeros auxilios....
I think this means 'face down' or 'in prone position' mainly going on the fact that they turned the body over to administer first aid, but I haven't come across this use before. Having said that the police report is full of errors... but it's quite important I get it correct.
TIA

| Hi Edward - yes it could. It’s handwritten and barely decipherable so you’ve hit the nail on the head. Thank you! |

: La asistencia respiratoria con el paciente acostado boca abajo (prono) en vez de boca arriba (supino) podría mejorar el trabajo del respirador, y reducir por lo tanto estos efectos secundarios indeseables. - https://www.cochrane.org/es/CD008095/EMERG_decu

La policía encontró el cuerpo en cubito central, con orificios una en la frente otros en diversas partes del cuerpo ( tipo ejecución, precisa la policía).
