Abstract
Forensic diagnosis of drowning as a death cause is a complicated expert task in some cases. Diatom test is still the «gold standard» of drowning diagnosis. Systematic analysis of studies published in the period 2000-2024 in PubMed and Springer Link international databases in English and Russian was carried out to investigate existing scientific developments related to forensic diatomology. The article presents data on current methods of diatom extraction with regard to effectiveness and safety. The obtained results can be used both to form the development direction of this scientific issue, and to realize in practice - introduction of methods into expert practice.
