LEAL, Jefferson Luiz Figueiredo et al. Estimativa do intervalo pós-morte em cadáveres congelados através da entomologia. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.3, pp. 41-48. ISSN 1808-5210.

Objective: To estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) of decomposing corpses found frozen in IMLAPC of Recife-PE through entomological evidence. Methods: Three bodies in an advanced state of putrefaction all male, who had fly larvae underwent removal of these larvae and put to laboratory rearing until the emergence of flies, and monitored the relative humidity and temperature at all times search. The temperatures were also obtained for a period of ten days occurring in the region of the location of cadavers. After the taxonomic identification of adults used to established literature calculations to arrive at the estimate of IPM. Results: We found two species of flies: Chrysomya putoria and Chrysomya albiceps, all from the same family Calliphoridae. The entomological calculations were conclusive statement on the dates stipulated by the experts of the IMLAPC were later found by our study, one case forty-eight hours in advance and the other two with an interval of approximately twenty-four hours. Conclusion: We achieved estimating the PMI based on calculations of the degree days accumulated in frozen corpses where there was a disagreement with the estimate of IPM in cases evaluated by comparing the record of entomology in the death certificate.
