[ Blade doesn't talk much, but this is going to be the most words he has said at once in a century. Get ready, fam. ]
I observed G’raha lying facedown in the center of the observatory, in a pool of his own blood. His face lay slightly turned, right side against the floor. The pool of blood was mostly centered around his head and shoulders; his hands were also up by his head, in that blood. Those hands had bruised palms, with fingers splayed, and remained like that. Likely because of stiffened muscles after death.
[ Rigor mortis, but even if he definitely can recognize such things, he doesn’t use the term. ]
His bruised hands weren’t defensive wounds.
I noticed a round hole in his head, positioned to the left side of his temple. I examined it closer to identify it as likely to be a gunshot wound - even if it was different from the ones I'd seen before. The wound was messier, and the hole was wider - I was able to glimpse splinters of bone at the entry site. His body also had the faint scent of gunpowder.
There were lacerations on his face, neck, and further down, lined up with the bloodied tears in his clothing. His back, bare arms and legs were covered in various wounds, with cuts, scrapes, and more lacerations. Some more deeper than the rest. This included a slightly messy wound on the right hand. It looked like something tore a bit through, and was removed. Those ‘various wounds’ appeared they were also made by something sharp that ripped through the flesh, and most of the cuts ran parallel to one another. The other cuts ran in different directions, with overlap.
I caught sight of a shallower wound on the upper left thigh and a deeper one on his right calf. They match similarity to the wound on the right hand, without it going all the way through.
Around G’raha’s abdomen, on the right side below his ribs, was a wound that differed to the one on his right hand in size. It was larger, deeper, and relatively clean even though it was a bit of a mess from something pierced into it. It did not have an exit wound.
There was also bruising on his right arm, going to down his elbow - all over the outside of it, without any particular shape. His left shoulder looked similar with the bruising spread out; no defined shape. It went across and over his shoulder blade.
I saw more bloody tears in the back, along with more blood pooling around his stomach, and legs. In general, the blood darkening along with discoloration of skin as blood settled in the lower body post-death [ Livor mortis, but he doesn't use that term, either. ] gave a sign that his body was out like this for several hours.

He had his crystal and suite key on him.
[ ...That was pleasant. ]
