- The rate method: by measuring events that occur at known rates.E.g.Rigor mortis, body temp,degree of putrefaction.
- The concurrence method: By Comparing the occurrence of events which took place at known times. E.g. a wrist watch stopped by a blow during an assault, the extent of digestion of the last known meal.
Postmortem changes and TOD:
- Many physico-chemical changes occur after birth in a fairly orderly fashion until the body disintegrates.
- Each change has its own time factor or rate. influenced by internal & external factors.
- Longer the PM interval, the less precise is the estimate of the time of death.
