Possibility of Exhumation

I have thought about if this would add any evidence.  My forensic background is in chemistry, but I would think there wouldn't be much to gain by exhumation.  X-rays can be taken if not taken at the ME's, but I would think that the most likely evidence that would have pointed to a homicide instead of an accident would be soft tissue damage/bruising. Noted in the ME's report is "left forehead laceration and left eye bruise" and "no c-spine fx/dislocation" (no broken neck).  No injuries are drawn at all on the body diagrams in the ME report.
