A bioscopy is an examination of a body to determine if it is alive or dead.
it is the temperature of the liver that determines the time of death (how long a body has been dead). that's why the medical examiner sticks a meat thermometer into the liver.
It is called a dead corpse or body.
There are many factors that can be considered in making the determination. * Temperature of the body * Rigor Mortis * Existence of certain insects in the body * Decomposition of tissue and fluids * Last known contact with others * Environmental factors
What requirements would I need to transport a body from TX to La.
It depends how long the body has been dead. Flies are attracted to foul smelling things so it depends on the dead body.
A coroner can look for signs such as lividity (discoloration of the skin due to blood pooling), rigor mortis (stiffening of the muscles), and different patterns of decomposition in different parts of the body to determine if a dead body has been moved. They may also examine the positioning of items around the body and any disturbances in the immediate surroundings.
Hitler did not want his dead body found & displayed (by the Russians) like Mussolini's dead body had been displayed (by the Italian partisans).
Yes, they do. They also assist forensic entomologists in helping determine the time of death.
HE IS MISSING, BUT HIS BODY HAS NOT BEEN FOUND YET.
An autopsy is a physical examination of a dead body to determine its cause of death. So yes, the person being autopsied must be dead.
A cross corresponding to a name on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall means that the person with that name is missing; to say, the body has not been found. A diamond next to a name on the wall stands for a person who has been proven dead; the body (or the remains of the body) has been found dead.
