Post Mortem Interval News Today

We outline issues with a recent publication by Mein and Williams (2023), which is primarily based on the morphology and quantification of osteocyte lacunae, microscopic cavities that house cells (osteocytes) which sustain bone tissue in living vertebrates. Using 26 rats (Rattus rattus) of unreported age and sex, the authors propose a method whereby post-mortem bone degradation on a short timescale can be quantified by analysing subtle shape changes of osteocyte lacunae. However, a lack of consid...

Mass loss is routinely used as a direct measure of biomass decomposition in ecological studies, yet few studies have analysed mass loss in a forensic context on human cadavers to determine its usefulness for modelling the decomposition process. Mass loss was examined in decomposing human and pig cadavers, and compared with other common decom...

Partial skeletal remains? >> thats the trick, isnt it, yasmin? he had been down for a protracted period of time. contrary to what you see on television and shows, this sort of thing, the best well be able to hope for, i think, relative to how long he has been down or what we refer to as the post mortem interval, is probably about a week, as far as narrowing it down. since theyre saying this is a skeletonized body, that implies there is no soft tissue remaining. so it takes some time for this to ...

Of the victims was dismembered. theres a lot of differences here. i have to change. originally i thought there was one killer. now im thinking thats not the case. >> you think its a coincidence, because its a remote, isolated area that its a coincidence that a lot of bodies have been dumped there? >> i think it could be that. if you go down this area, its deserted and its a perfect place to drop a package off and not be seen and escape the area. >> some of these bodies have apparently been there...
