Overview

The precursor of this series is 'Forensic Medicine and Medical Law', a book published by the author in an Asian country in 1995. This book is currently being updated for the global audience. It is expected to be available as a standard textbook by next year. Postmortem Changes and Estimation of Time of Death is the first in a series of booklets covering topics in forensic medicine. As the first in the series, the book starts with the definition and scope of forensic medicine and then goes on to cover in detail subjects, including matters related to somatic death, molecular death and brain death, and points out the dilemmas that the medical community still has to face as a result of for example, the fact that a brain dead body heals its wounds and could deliver its conceptus. Other topics include, immediate, early, late, and late infrequent changes after death, the medico-legal significance of these changes, including their use in estimating the time of death. References are mate to journal articles to provide evidence to some of the recent developments in forensic medicine. As with all books by Hemamal Jayawardena on Forensic Medicine, the book is dedicated to persons whose suffering and deaths fertilized the subject of Forensic Medicine, for without the knowledge and experience gained from their autopsies and clinical examination of their injured bodies, the study of the subject would be meaningless.
