SANCHEZ, J.A. y ROBLEDO, M.M.. Burned corpses: Forensic anthropological study. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2008, n.53-54, pp.269-276. ISSN 1988-611X.
The action of fire on the body can affect the skin determining diverse degree of burns or may affect the bone, even cremate it. When the degree of burn is intense, protocols of forensic anthropology should be used, taking into account the details of each case. We present four cases studied in the Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology at the School of Legal Medicine in Madrid, in which different techniques have been used in order to establish the identification of the cadaver and the cause of death as well as other questions of interest in the forensic anthropological investigation.
