Background: distinguishing fetal death from death after live birth may be critical in medicolegal investigations, but no isolated finding proves extrauterine life or establishes infanticide. Objective: to critically review maceration findings, classic docimasias, histology, postmortem imaging, and placental examination...

Background: charring alters soft tissues, bone and body fluids, may create artifacts that mimic trauma and often compromises routine identification methods. Objective: to review findings relevant to vital exposure to smoke and heat, the distinction between thermal change and traumatic injury, and human identification i...

Introduction: Craniocerebral firearm injuries require correlation among soft-tissue lesions, osseous defects, fractures, and intracranial changes. In decomposed bodies, this interpretation may be limited by tissue loss, entomological activity, and taphonomic modifications.
Objective: To synthesize the criteria for char...

Background: putrefaction, soft-tissue loss and taphonomic change can erase, distort or mimic sharp-force injuries. In skeletonized remains, bone lesions may retain useful information but cannot, in isolation, establish vitality, identify an individual weapon or reconstruct the event. Objective: to review findings relev...

Background: the investigation of deaths with suspected sexual violence requires systematic anatomical examination, early trace collection, and interpretation that recognizes the limited specificity of isolated findings. Objective: to synthesize evidence on postmortem findings, semen and male DNA detection, environmenta...

D diagnosis should combine circumstances, external examination, complete autopsy, histology, toxicology, selected ancillary examinations, and taphonomic assessment, and in decomposed bodies, the conclusion should explicitly state its limitations and use probabilistic language without assigning absolute value to any sin...
