Establishing the postmortem interval is one of the frustrating challenges faced by forensic experts, particularly when limited information about deceased is available. In the past and today also estimation of postmortem interval mainly relied on physical changes after death such as the degree of rigor mortis, postmortem staining, cooling of body, changes in eye, decomposition changes, contents of stomach bowel and contents of urinary bladder. The chemical tests to determine the postmortem interval have been increased largely in the last few decades, which are based on changes occurring in the body immediately or shortly after death. These changes occur in various body fluids such as whole blood, serum, CSF, aqueous and vitreous humour. In this study vitreous humour ascorbic acid concentration were investigated to predict postmortem interval. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
