A CDRD RESEARCH MAKES AN ASTONISHING DISCOVERY ON THE POSSIBLE USE OF BONE HISTOPATHOLOGY FOR EXPLOSIVE-RELATED DEATH INVESTIGATIONS
2024-06-20
A recent collaborative empirical research work initiated by CDRD [RC 39 (2023) - Changes to Animal Bone Characteristics before and after Explosions; An empirical study] has made an astonishing discovery on the possibility of using bone histopathology for blast-related death investigations. Publishing the study, the International Journal of Legal Medicine reveals that the results of this study present the first evidence-based findings on the post-blast histological changes in three animal bones when exposed to close-range chemical detonation (High explosives/ C4) and highlights the possible future use of bone histopathology for blast-related human death investigations. Further research is underway to understand the applicability of the findings to human bones.
