Fatal Fire
This is a rare finding of decomposition after extensive thermal injury and exposure to smoke. The decedent was involved in a fatal fire and the body was not discovered for several days after being soaked in water following fire extinguishing. Note the microorganisms and mold growing at the body surface shown by the gray-white discoloration. Putrefactive changes were markedly inhibited due to the effects of exposure to smoke and heat. click pic to view larger image |
