Abstract:
Forensic pathologists must determine not only the cause and manner of death, but also the identity of the deceased. Some surgical procedures or implants may have a great value for identification. A case of quickly solved postmortem identification through medical information of an ambulatory pH monitoring capsule (Bravo(TM) Capsule) in the esophagus is reported.
