Abstract

The enigma produced by a body found in water is clarified only by a total circumstantial investigation correlated with autopsy findings. Multiple factors, human, equipment and environmental, must be considered before opinions are expressed. The conclusion that death is due to drowning does not address the true needs which are to determine why a victim got into difficulty and could not escape.
