The PI
Magazine Bookstore is
proud to offer investigators the Time
of Death, Decomposition and Identification: An Atlas. A postmortem X-ray
of a male homicide victim reveals a bullet lodged next to
his spine. That he was shot is clear. How recently? is what
death investigators must determine. The answer: the absence
of scar tissue surrounding the bullet proves the victim had
been recently shot.
And while the average person may find tattoos to be creative
and aesthetic, to the trained death investigator, they can actually
be the key to aiding in the eventual identification of a body.
They say the dead can't speak. But in the fascinating field
of forensic pathology, the deceased can tell an elaborate story,
especially when death investigators know what clues to look for.
The first volume in the new Forensic Pathology Atlases: Causes
of Death Series, this book takes an in-depth look at the determination
of the time of death, postmortem changes, and identification.
In TIME OF DEATH, DECOMPOSITION AND IDENTIFICATION, you'll learn
through the extensive use of photographs and discussion how estimating
the time of death can rarely be accomplished with scientific
accuracy. You'll learn about the numerous changes the body undergoes
after death, and how positive and probable identifications are
made.
For death investigators, law enforcement officers, attorneys,
and anyone else involved in forensic death cases, TIME OF DEATH,
DECOMPOSITION AND IDENTIFICATION is a "must have" resource.
