A 65-year-old man suffered a massive myocardial infarction that was complicated by shock and prolonged hypotension. On arrival in the emergency department he was found to have focal neurological signs in addition to features consistent with low-output cardiac failure. Despite the best efforts of the medical team he died the next day. At autopsy, the most likely change you would expect to see in a brain biopsy would be:

A. Acute haemorrhagic change

B. Coagulative necrosis

C. Granulomatous change

D. Lacunar infarct

E. Liquefactive necrosis
