Unusual Mode of the Disposal of Dead: 2 Case Reports
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
There are different means of disposal of the dead in our country (India). Depending upon the religion, the dead bodies are cremated, buried or submersed in the Holy Rivers. Criminals prefer to dispose of the bodies in order to conceal their crime e.g. throwing the bodies in isolated/ abandoned places, jungles, canals or wells etc. They may try to efface or obliterate the identity of the deceased by different methods like removal of the identifying features, burning, dismemberment and burying or throwing different body parts at different places. All this would lead to failure in detection of crime. Two cases in which the authors found unusual mode of the disposal of the dead are presented here in this manuscript.
