Best Answer

The bone structure and the teeth, always give hints to gender and age. The medical examiner usually looks at the exterior of a body first; a crime scene investigator would look for some form of identification, perhaps in pockets or purses. Sometimes, if the body is found in a vehicle, the vehicle will give them a route to the identity. The circumstances of a body always dictate the means used to identify a body.
