[Person identification with video super-projection]

The author reports on the identification of a male corpse which was found in a marsh where it had been lying for approximately three months. Autopsy revealed a laceration of the scalp with an underlying skull fracture. Since the corpse could not be identified by means of dental status, bloodgrouping or finger prints, the method of videosuperimposition was used. A comparison of the skull with a photograph of the suspected victim confirmed identity.
