    The application of Psychological Autopsy as a means of evidence in crimes against life, is a very important implement in the criminal fieldas through this it can be can determined whether the scene actually corresponds to a crime, the sort of crime it is, or if we are facing a suicide. No counting on the victim’s presence because of dead or perhaps for their disappearance is one of the most complex scenarios for a forensic psychological assessment; however, feasible to carry out psychological assessment techniques by regression. Both globally and in Latin America, the application of psychological autopsy in cases of questionable deaths, has been a very useful technique in forensic psychiatry in the criminal justice field; its relevance and potential application in designing policies to promote health and prevent accidents, homicide or suicide application. However, the application of psychological autopsy as an expertise to help clarify the facts in an uncertain death in Ecuador is relatively recent, and although it can give clear evidence does not constitute strong evidence that actually leads to the administration of justice to consider the relevance that sometimes it deserves. However, it has been practiced in some cases in the country, although it is not literally established in the criminal legislation, its application has been rather in a permissible way. As mentioned above, the present research work considers the application of psychological autopsy as evidence in the investigation of crimes against life, which origin is uncertain. It is of vital importance with which a more comprehensive administration of justice will be achieved, not without mentioning that for those who have been with the pain of losing a loved one, also will have the emotional comfort of knowing that the person responsible for that presumed crime thought to be accidental, has been put before a court of law.
