Abstract

When speaking of cadaveric phenomena as such, reference is made to the entire process in which a deceased human being is handled, from the first minutes of death, taking into account the signs that allow to determine and qualify it as a corpse, the causes of death and the legal process in case of being a victim of violence or unknown causes, in order to identify those signs that are part of the cycle of the cadaveric phenomenon properly called. There is a complete and delicate management of the scene of death and the process of the medical autopsy necessary in case of determining that the death is due to unnatural causes, such as acts of violence, suicide, or unknown causes that merit a legal study to determine the reason for the death, In this scene, the main intention of those in charge and professionals is to clearly describe the crime, environment and environmental observations of the place to later carry out the physical and biological study of the corpse in order to clarify the causes of the descent and record the cadaveric phenomena that appear during the session. In this way, throughout this research we will detail and conceptualize the cadaveric phenomena, stages and the process of thanatocronodiagnosis that allows us to determine the time of death, the main signs and signals that corroborate the death of the person, to identify the possible causes and the treatment given during the biochemical and toxicological study of the body.
