Abstract

Table of dynamometry values for different intervals of the postmortem period cannot be used in cases when livores mortis beyond the lumbosacral area are examined, specifically, when the corpse is found lying with the face down. The process of formation of livor mortis is individual and runs a specific course in every corpse and in its different sites. Dynamometry of hypostases can be informative only during the first 16 h postmortem; in later periods the time course of dynamometry is unstable. Dynamometry can be used only as a tentative diagnostic test when solving the problem of the time of death and only together with other methods.
