If it's to late to collect evidence from Zimmerman, wouldn't Trayvon's body have marks that still could be evaluated if exhumed? I.E. marks on his hands indicating a serious fight (hitting zimmerman), Gun powder residue and conditions on his body and clothes that would indicate how close the gun was when he was fatally shot?

The most basic type of distance determination occurs when the muzzle of the firearm is in contact with the target at the time of discharge. When fired at close range, the bullet, high velocity gases, and residues commonly cause gross physical effects and residue deposits that are easily observed by the unaided eye.
The physical effects that indicate a contact shot may include
ripping and tearing of cloth,
burning and/or singeing of cloth,
melted tips of artificial fibers,
heavy vaporous lead (smoke) deposits around a suspected bullet hole.
