That "anyone" should be hired as a Forensic Pathologist is not speculation. "Anyone" deserves that job because he has proved that SFX is not an Egyptian mummy. Moreover, he has done it without actually examining the SFX remains or reading anything about mummification, Forensic Pathology or SFX. The SFX remains have never been subjected to modern forensic analysis. This can easily be done if the relevant authorities give the requisite permission. For those who are really interested in mummification, it would be useful to know that hundreds of other mummified/saponified bodies have been found all over the world, many much better preserved than SFX. Some examples are the Taklamakan mummies of China, the Greenland mummies, the Chosun Korean mummies and the Buddhist mummies of Japan. They have been thoroughly examined and their histological characteristics noted. The mummification process, both natural or artificial, has been well studied by modern Forensic science.
