They were called abrasions in the autopsy, not necessarily any bruising present.
They were on the front and back of the left and right pelvis area and did not happen during revival or resuscitation efforts.
That means they are small scrapes or scratches and if they bled some tiny amount, that meant they were ante-mortem.
I've thought about this a lot and my opinion, which could always change, is that it might have been something that happened when *someone* went through his jeans pockets, perhaps too roughly.
In order to do that, he would have had to have been already unconscious or half-conscious.
We heard about two pills that were found in the bed where either he or HKS had been; we heard about HKS finding pills in Daniel's jeans pockets, but it was implied that he did that back at the house, in Daniel's other jeans (he wasn't in them, IOW) - and we also heard on the tab TV show the other day (I did, anyway) when Jack Harding, the PI, appeared, that Harding's business card - which they showed close-up, on-screen - was found in Daniel's jeans pocket.

Confirming I heard that, too.
Interesting thought that HKS could have gone through his pockets at the hospital.
