Post Mortem Changes “Necrokinetics” • Postmortem interval • Defined by the degree of decomposition • Decomposition • Autolysis: enzymes are released <strong>and</strong> chemicals move down gradients • Putrefacation: digestion by bacteria • Anthropophagia: feeding on remains
Specimens • Blood • Reported as “blood concentrations” • From femoral or subclavian (low glucose) • Right heart blood (elevated glucose) • Vitreous • Avascular, acellular so well protected • Aqueous content > blood • Urine • Bladder serves as a “reservoir”
