A collection of cutting-edge accounts of special topics from
various fields of forensic pathology and death scene investigation.
The authors offer critical insight into the medicolegal
investigation of bodies found in water, the forensic aspects of the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection of the central
nervous system, deaths in a head-down position, and forensic
bitemark analysis. Additional chapters address taphonomic changes
in human bodies during the early postmortem interval,
arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplaisia that produces sudden death in
young people, the postmortem diagnosis of death in anaphylaxis, and
iatrogenici deaths. The forensic aspects of suicide,
murder-suicide, and suicide trends in the United States are also
discussed, along with the evaluation of fatal pulmonary
thromboembolism and the use of radiology in medicolegal
investigations.
