Disaster victim identification: Stable isotope analysis and the identification of unknown...
Within the complex world of disaster victim identification, or DVI, forensic science practitioners use a variety of investigative techniques to work toward a common goal: identification of the decedents, bringing closure to the affected communities. Identification is a complex un...
Rare case of multiple self‐inflicted gunshot wounds to the chest in Poland
Multiple gunshot suicides are relatively rare and present significant challenges for investigators and forensic pathologists. In such cases, assessing the possibility of more than one shot being fired can be crucial in distinguishing homicide from suicide. We present a rare case ...
Seized drug reporting of NPS helps to guide regional toxicological practice: A 17 month...
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are everchanging and plague forensic laboratories who must identify an unending variety of emerging substances and evolve current methodologies to detect these substances. Identifying potential regional NPS targets and timely examining trends i...
Extending the discussion on inconsistency in forensic decisions and results
