You have been called to homicide scene where a body has been found. It is your duty to determine the probable cause of death and determine how long the person has been missing from their home. Upon arrival, you notice that there are a great number of
insects on and around the body. You also notice the body is dark green and there is a foul odor emanating directly from the body. Given these clues determine what stage of composition the body is in and discuss how you came to your conclusion.
What will be an ideal response?
Stage 3 lack putrefaction stage, the body has probably been missing for anywhere from 10-20 days, the body cavity has ruptured and gases have been released, the dark green skin is an indicator of this stage, insect activity should be considered high and a check to see if bones are apparent would also add to the justification/determination of this stage.
