 * Death investigators are known as medical examiners or coroners.
 * Manner of death has five categories: Natural, Accidental, Suicide, Homicide, and Undetermined.
 * Criminal homicide offenses consist of death by auto, manslaughter, and murder.
 * Non-criminal homicide might be commited in self-defense
 * Any deaths resulting from unnatural causes should be investigated the approximate time of the victim's death.
 * Time of death is difficult to say with certainty, but the factors that influence this estimation consist of algor mortis, livor mortis, rigor mortis, ocular indicators, food   digestion, personal factors, and decay/decomposition rates.
 * Decomposition rates depend heavily on environmental conditions.
 * Entomologists' studies of insects can be of help by showing that a body may have been moved, serving as specimens for toxicologial or drug analysis, providing DNA materials from insect ingestion contents, supporting or contradicting alibis, and assessing when wounds were inflicted
 * Frequently, autopsies provide the most crucial evidence needed for convictions.
 * Unidentified bodies are usually autopsied.
