The subject of analysis was the crash of a helicopter of the Polish Border Guards, which happened on October 31, 2009, in the Byelorussian territory about two hundred meters from the Polish border. In the accident, three crew members perished: the pilot, navigator and operator. Based on the accounts obtained directly after the crash on the site of the tragedy, it was established that the pilot tried to land, but the impact was so strong that the aircraft sank about one meter into the ground. On November 3, 2009, a committee consisting of two prosecutors from the County Prosecutor Office in Bialystok, a forensic science expert and a representative from the Border Guards, went to Department of Forensic Medicine in Brzesc. The prosecutors and forensic science expert took part in recovering the bodies. During the process of internal and external examination, severe body injuries were noted, without any surviving tissue and intestines. Samples of blood, urine and fragments of internal organs were collected for chemical, biochemical, toxicological and histopathological examinations. Muscle DNA was also taken. |
