Death or injury caused by explosion.

R K Wright

    Clinics in Laboratory Medicine
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Investigating explosion injuries requires careful scene analysis and examination of surgical or autopsy samples. Meticulous cleaning and fragment retrieval from these materials are crucial for forensic investigations.

    Area of Science:

    • Forensic pathology
    • Explosion analysis
    • Trauma investigation

    Background:

    • Explosions present diverse energy sources, causes, and injury patterns.
    • Effective investigation relies on thorough scene analysis and examination of biological evidence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a methodology for analyzing surgical or autopsy materials from explosion incidents.
    • To enhance the identification of explosion-related evidence in forensic investigations.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed scene analysis and meticulous examination of surgical/autopsy specimens.
    • Radiographic imaging (photography and X-rays) before and after cleaning.
    • Surface fragment collection using specific cleaning agents (chloroform, hydrochloric acid).
    • Extensive search for microscopic fragments within collected samples.

    Main Results:

    • The described protocol aids in the systematic collection of physical evidence from explosion-related injuries.
    • Enhanced visualization and retrieval of critical fragments are achieved through sequential imaging and cleaning.

    Conclusions:

    • A standardized approach to analyzing explosion-affected tissues is vital for accurate forensic casework.
    • This method improves the likelihood of identifying and characterizing explosion-related injuries and causative agents.
