[Accountance of instrumental error in measuring corpse's temperature when determining postmortem interval (a case from practice)].

Abstract

A variant of calculating the error in determining the postmortem period of a person caused by the accuracy of measuring the temperatures of the corpse and the external environment, and its consideration during the examination based on the example of practical forensic medical observation, is presented. The calculation method is implemented on the basis of the C. Henssge mathematical model. The authors of the article implemented an algorithm for calculating the instrumental error of determining of the postmortem interval using the thermal method in the form of Microsoft Excel sheet for practical application.
