Synopsis

This book is an invaluable resource for specialists in the area of forensic medicine concerned with assessing deaths that are sudden, suspicious, and violent and with conducting thorough examinations of the deceased. It provides an in -depth examination of the methods used to evaluate and assess a death based on proof provided by a body that reflects injury or an anomaly. The book is split into two parts. Part 1 is an introduction to forensic medicine and the legal framework surrounding violent and suspicious deaths, and it covers both suicides and homicides. Part 2 is a biological study of injuries and wounds, along with their appearances and the processes that follow them. The author provides an analysis of the various methods used to establish the time of death based on changes in the body from the point of death onward. The final section covers various methods relevant to forensic medicine, and the calculation of the age of a fetus.
