APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING POST-MORTEM INTERVAL OF A CORPSE

摘要

An apparatus for determining post-mortem interval of a corpse is provided which comprises a portable processor which communicates with at least one of a body temperature sensor, a sensor for measuring tympanic membrane temperature and a sensor for measuring potassium ion (K+) concentration in the vitreous humour. The processor is configured to calculate an estimated post-mortem time of a corpse as a function of the measurements obtained from the sensors, and to provide the estimated post-mortem time to a user thereof.
