Abstract

The purpose of the research is to summarize the current information about post-mortem interval (PMI) estimating and the peculiarities of the forensic medical examination in postmortem glaciation of the corpse. On the territory of most regions of the Russian Federation, the autumn-winter period passes with a significant decrease in ambient temperature, which makes this topic relevant. The article describes in detail the mechanisms of freezing of human cells and tissues, methods for diagnosing PMI, the peculiarities of the examination in postmortem glaciation, and also put forward directions for further research.

Обобщить информацию о диагностике давности наступления смерти (ДНС) и особенностях проведения судебно-медицинского исследования при посмертном оледенении трупа. На территории большинства регионов Российской Федерации в осенне-зимний период происходит значительное понижение температуры окружающей среды, что делает данную тему актуальной. Подробно описаны механизмы замерзания клеток и тканей человека, методы диагностики ДНС, особенности проведения экспертизы при посмертном оледенении, а также намечены направления дальнейших исследований в этой области.

Keywords: freezing; freezing of a corpse; post-mortem interval estimating; thawing; virtual autopsy.
