The fate of the human body after death is a subject that has
fascinated enquirers, both in the scientific and legal realms for
millennia. However, objective research into the causes and nature
of human decomposition has only taken place in the last two
centuries, and quantitative measurement of the process as a means
of estimating the time of death has only recently been attempted.
The substantial literature concerning this research has been
published in numerous scientific journals since the beginning of
the nineteenth century. Human Body Decomposition expands on the
current literature to include the evolving research on estimating
the time of death. This volume details the process of decomposition
to include early period after death when the body cools to ambient
temperature, and when the body begins to putrefy. This process is
significant because the estimation of the time of death becomes
increasingly more difficult when the body begins to putrefy. Human
Body Decomposition compiles a chronological account of research
into the estimation of the time since death in human bodies found
decomposed in order that researchers in the subject field can
concentrate their thoughts and build on what has been achieved in
the past.
