Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the development and changes of pressure of putrefactive gas (PPG) in cadaveric enterocelia in spring, and to explore its application in estimation of postmortem interval (EPI).
METHODS:57 goats were divided into 2 groups according to means of death, on land or in water. Celiac PPG were observed timely and systematically.
RESULTS:The development of PPG in cadaveric enterocelia, which can be divided into raising phase, peak phase, and declining phase was observed, and a model to estimate postmortern interval by changes of PPG was founded.
CONCLUSION:Measuring PPG in cadaveric enterocelia could be used in forensic EPI.
