Book Contents
Determining the time of death is crucial for investigators to identify suspects, verify alibis, and identify unknown bodies. In practice, however, this determination remains complex and challenging. In Corpse Jessica Snyder Sachs shows how forensic pathologists and specialists from various disciplines such as entomology, anthropology, biochemistry, and botany collaborate to better understand this challenge. Plants, chemicals, and insects around the body prove to be indispensable tools in this regard. The book also pays attention to developments and doubts surrounding forensic science in the courtroom and the emergence of the new branch of forensic ecology.
