Presence of fecal material in diapers as a potential source of error in estimations of postmortem interval using arthropod development rates
ML Goff, S Charbonneau, W Sullivan - Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1991 - astm.org
Second instar larvae of the fly Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera, Calliphoridae) were
recovered from the diapers of a 16-month-old child abandoned by her mother on Oahu,
Hawaii. The development of these larvae indicated a minimum period of 23.5 h of exposure
prior to discovery of the child. Larvae of this species of fly are not normally associated with
living tissues in Hawaii, but rather with feces and remains during the early stages of
decomposition. Had the child in this case died and data not been provided detailing the site …
