Description
The fate of the human body after death is a subject of ongoing scientific research. Human Body Decomposition explores the process of decomposition, from the initial cooling of the body to the later stages of autolysis, putrefaction, and skeletonisation. This book provides a chronological account of research into estimating the time of death in decomposed bodies, covering methods of research and recent findings. It concludes with an assessment of the challenges that future research into human decomposition will encounter.
