Abstract
Determining the cause of death is an important factor in the forensic investigation process.”Some aspects of death will be difficult to find if the condition of the body has suffered severe damage when found. “Corpses due to drug abuse found in hidden places are often difficult to know with certainty the cause of death. Insects that eat the corpse tissue, then xenobiotics such as drugs and other toxic substances will be transferred to the larval body’s metabolic system so that it is easily detected with sophisticated equipment.”Techniques such as “immunoassays, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) have been used routinely to detect xenobiotics from the body, larvae, and insects.”The study of “insects as alternative toxicological samples is known as forensic entomotoxicologyInternational Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 02 April’21 Page: 185-190
Highlights
Forensic investigation One of the most important factors in investigating crimes of death “is the cause of death
Case finding the bodies are often found in cases of death due to drug abuse in hidden places2.”
Insects as toxicological samples because the number of corpses that are infected, and the pupa stage will not change for the long time[7]
Summary
Forensic investigation One of the most important factors in investigating crimes of death “is the cause of death. These aspects will be difficult to ascertain when the body had been badly damaged when it was founded[1]. Case finding the bodies are often found in cases of death due to drug abuse in hidden places2.”. “The study of the use of insects as an alternative toxicology sample known as entomotoxicology[8]. “insecticides, pesticides, and other poisons are common cases in the world. “Detection of drugs and poisons in insects (larvae, and other arthropods) is further detected by several techniques.”. Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)[8,17], have been used routinely for detecting xenobiotics from bodies, larvae and insects.”
