Six illustrative cases of homicidal drowning are reported in which the diatom test for drowning was a useful adjunct to the medicolegal investigation of death. In all six cases, diatom frustules were recovered from the femoral bone marrow. In five cases, diatoms extracted from the bone marrow were compared with diatoms obtained from samples of putative
