"Co-written by a master dive investigator and an experienced medical examiner, Water-Related Death Investigation: Practical Methods and Forensic Applications, Second Edition merges the essentials of evidence collection and field investigation, with autopsy best practices and laboratory testing on the deceased involved in a water-related death. The book thoroughly details the investigative process of a case from the scene to the autopsy to the courtroom. All too often, police called to the scene of a water-related death may consider it an accidental drowning before they even arrive. However, given the many challenges that frequently accompany water-related deaths, such investigations require the same careful scrutiny, investigative practices, and thorough documentation as in other potentially non-natural deaths. This Second Edition addresses the investigative duties of those called to the scene, including securing the scene, searching for evidence, evidence recovery, and body assessment. In addition, unique situations and characteristics-such as, submerged vehicles, scuba fatalities, pool drowning, erotic drowning, and boating accidents-are also addressed. Pre-trial preparation for the field investigator-including exhibits, testimony, and video and audio recording-are outlined. New sections address current practices and advancements in processing evidence and fingerprints recovered from a water environment. Lastly, two new chapter address personnel training and an explanation of the physiology of drowning. This includes an explanation of the medicolegal autopsy as well as the forensic pathological and toxicological aspects of deaths due to drowning and bodies recovered from fluid environments. Water-Related Death Investigation: Practical Methods and Forensic Applications, Second Edition is the most comprehensive book on the recovery, analysis, and investigation of remains in water related death cases. It will continue to serve as a valuable resource for the various professionals involved in such cases"-- |
