The role of the forensic pathologist in the investigation of fatal traffic accidents--the Finnish system.

abstract：UNLABELLED:The paper gives a review of the development of methods of postmortem electrical excitability of skeletal muscle for determining the time since death. For practical application in casework, the following method can be proposed: position of electrodes in the orbicularis oculi muscle, stimulation by rectangular...
