Abstract
The assessment of the postmortem interval in forensic medicine and forensic anthropology considers a multitude of factors that influence both the decomposition and preservation of soft and hard tissues. With increasing postmortem interval estimating the time since death will become more difficult and imprecise. Although morphological indicators may provide useful information, with increasing postmortem interval the time range and difficulty of estimation increase as well. The decomposition of human remains involves a series of processes that begin immediately after death. Although in this article only late postmortem changes will be addressed, “late” may be very early in high ambient temperatures.
