Resumen
PACHAR LUCIO, J.V.. Carbonization process as a means to cover up a femicide. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.1-2, pp.46-49. ISSN 1988-611X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1135-76062013000100009.
In practical forensic pathology, it is difficult and complex to establish the identity, the cause and manner of death in a body burned up to carbonization. The remains are fragile and present multiple artifacts, product of the thermal trauma, of environmental factors and of its manipulation. One of the main objectives of the autopsy is to determine if the individual was alive or dead when the fire begun. We present a case of death by stab wound and posterior burn of the body up to carbonization as attempt of destroying the evidences of femicide.
