Example text
This protects an investigator from being accused of poor decision-making. If conflicting information is presented later, a death investigator can readjust the decision based on the new information. The report, however, must include all items that were part of the evaluation. This report will be utilized by many professionals within the department and from outside agencies. An investigator should carefully check his report before it is released since it reflects the competence of an investigator.
There are numerous individual observations which, when used together, provide the best estimate of the time of death. These include: rigor mortis, livor mortis, body temperature, decompositional changes, and stomach contents. A thorough scene investigation must also be performed and environmental conditions should be documented. The environment is the single most important factor in determining the postmortem interval. Rigor Mortis After death, the muscles of the body initially become flaccid. Within one to three hours they become increasingly rigid and the joints freeze by a process named rigor mortis (or postmortem rigidity or rigor).
It does not represent a postmortem interval because a body may have been dead for a period of time prior to insect infestation. Flora discovered under or near a body may be helpful. A botanist would be needed to examine the specimen, classify the type of flora according to time of year normally present, and determine how much time elapsed to reach that particular growth stage. Use of entomological and botanical data may narrow the time of death to weeks or months, but rarely days. Information from a scene not associated with a body may also be critical in estimating the time of death.
