DNA methylation and epigenomic profiling post‐mortem of human remain analogs (Sus scrofa) in southern Ontario, Canada

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of DNA methylation (DNAm) post‐mortem could support forensic applications, particularly the estimation of the post‐mortem interval (PMI), age, and sex of remains. In this study, we investigated DNAm changes in pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) as analogs for human decomposition, while measuring the progression of decay ...

Neuropathologic findings and age‐related differences in Finnish pediatric medico‐legal autopsies

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuropathological examination plays a critical role in medico‐legal cause‐of‐death investigation, especially in determining the cause and manner of death in pediatric autopsies. Although a comprehensive neuropathological examination is recommended, limited data exists of the diagnostic yield of neuropathology consultations in such cases.

Assessing the reliability of saw mark features: A comparative study using stereomicroscopy, micro‐XCT, and 3D printing

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Saw mark analysis is an important component of forensic anthropology, particularly in cases of postmortem dismemberment. While stereomicroscopy remains the benchmark for evaluating kerf features, recent advances in imaging technologies offer new opportunities for documenting and interpreting bone trauma.

LLM‐based keyword augmentation for title‐driven evidence selection: A practical approach

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Keyword‐based search is widely used in digital forensic investigations, yet its effectiveness depends strongly on investigator experience, leading to inconsistent results and missed evidence. While previous studies have explored machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to address this, practical deployment is often constrained by ...

In vitro and in vivo metabolism profiles of cathinone and pseudoephedrine: Discrimination between khat and pseudoephedrine uses

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the present study, the metabolism of khat (Catha edulis) and pseudoephedrine was compared with the aim of identifying objective criteria that could be used to discriminate between them for forensic and doping‐control purposes. An in vitro study using human liver microsomes and an in vivo study using rat urine were performed under harmonized

Postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) and human decomposition in anthropogenically constructed aqueous environments (pools, bathtubs, hot tubs, and spas)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem decomposition changes of bodies in aquatic environments may offer valuable insights into the postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) for medicolegal death investigators. However, the effects of immersion on the onset of such changes are poorly understood.
