Neural Time-Of-Death Identification Guide ![]()
NEURAL TIME-OF-DEATH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE The Application of Neural Networks to Inferring Time Since Death In Deer Immediately after death many physical changes occur. The body temperature of a carcass begins to decrease and is followed by rigor mortis. Eventually the different stages of decomposition reduce the carcass to its skeleton remains. In wildlife, Time Since Death (TSD) inferences have relied on:
Wildlife officers commonly use carcass-cooling rates for inferring time since death (TSD). Computer programs have been developed that use the deer carcass thigh temperature to estimate the time of death by applying quadratic equations and regression analysis. Recent investigations have shown that CompuTOD's (a program written by some of these authors) underlying assumptions were erroneous. This manuscript addresses:
