I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
I think it's unlikely that there wouldn't be any injuries, but I'm afraid I couldn't tell you. You would need a pathologist for that.
Share Answer: 
Yes. I've never heard it mentioned that certain things don't show up until later.
Share Answer: 
Go to a college that offers a degree in forensic science. Each college or university should have a website where they list the degrees they provide.
Share Answer: 
That would depend entirely on the circumstances and method of murder, wouldn't it? If they are such that it would be impossible for the person to have died by accident, suicide, or of natural causes, then murder would be suspected.

If you buy an item that turns out to be stolen, do you have to turn it over to the police?
I'm sorry but I wouldn't have any idea. You'd have to ask an anthropologist.
Share Answer: 
I really don’t know, since my degree is in biology, not forensic science. You should ask one of faculty advisors in the forensic science program at the university (or better yet several universities). You could probably just call the departments on the phone and ask.
Share Answer: 
I have no idea. You'd have to ask the review board. Since statistics are just numbers, how do you know it's not included?
