Knowing about the time of death is often the central key to solving criminal cases. The time of
death is also relevant in cases of natural death - for the family register entry for the
insurance system or the succession... However the forensic medical estimation of the time of
death (postmortal interval) is still not without limitations - especially if it should be
precise or if it cannot be done relatively immediately after onset of death. With the onset of
death various processes begin to set in place that change a corpse and its tissues over the
time axis.If it were possible to find a process in a certain tissue that would behave precisely
like one or better several clockworks and if it were still possible to reset the time to the
state before or at the time of death if it would also be possible that these synchronous
clocks run again and if it were also possible to run the elapsed time after death in real time
on the identical individual to be examined or the identical examination object under comparable
conditions (simulation) the perfect and most precise method for determining the time of death
would be born.The author of the present work has observed that teeth of dead appear much
brighter differently coloured and less translucent and more opaque than teeth of living people
and that dental colour changes are based on reversible drying and liquid absorption processes
and can be measured with high precision and very differentiated values - he revealed phenomena
paradoxes dynamics and liquid flow and articulates the dental fingerprint for identification
tooth clock tooth memory ...He measures the loss of liquid in ranges of up to one millionth of
a gram in the microgram range as well as the colour and reflection spectra with
high-precision measuring systems and he sees a fundamental possibility in the use of processes
that he has measured and analyzed on drying and liquid-absorbing teeth and he is presenting a
novel method for the first time. Furthermore for the first time he also presents a
reference-independent approach (perhaps the first reference-independent analysis or measurement
method in the natural sciences) based on drying up to the time of the first measurement liquid
storage and repeated drying - the actual simulation. For this reference-independent method
approach in contrast to his reference-dependent method it does not necessarily need reference
values i.e. values that had to be obtained beforehand on other comparable samples (see
nomogram) but only values that were obtained previously on the identical object. For the first
time the scattering problem was circumvented - the way to a high-precision method?The novel
method of analyzing and measuring the time of death seems to have a number of advantages:
objectifying measurement instead of subjective estimations of stages several independent
values such as L a b C h M spectral values instead of just one numerical
value(temperature in degrees) in the case of the body cooling method reversibility instead of
irreversibility of the processes and thus after sufficient liquid storage repeatability of
the post-mortem conditions and consequently the post-mortem interval up to the first
measurement in the context of a simulation under comparable conditions on the identical object
and thus avoidance of the scattering problem avoidance of intra- and inter-individual
differences on both sides of the autopsy table - for the estimating and for the estimated
individual time of death measurement on site or high-precision measurements with
high-precision positioning systems instead of measurement with thermometers in the author's
vision comfortable measurements of various samples independently of one another within an
automatic analyzer simulating ambient conditions in the laboratory instead ... - A
breakthrough?
