abstract="A human skeleton was found in a forest after an aging time (laydays) of nearly three years. Surprisingly a larger number of living maggots crawled out of the medullary cavity of the humerus after sawing it longitudinally. Investigations of other long bones showed remnants of maggots, fly-pupas and maggot-excrements in similar cases. A humerus is found after an estimated aging time of over 100 years. The presence of a remaining epiphyseal gap indicated an age of about 20 years, whereas the extension of the medullary cavity showed a much higher age. After a long aging time, these structures show similar findings in other cases. Damage done by frost should be discussed.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
