1. Manner of death: Manner of death is death by four types of means. Natural, suicidal, accidental, homicidal. This is considered categorical. Cause of death: Cause of death is the immediate reasoning for death such as a heart attack. b. Cause of death is more or less the effect of the mechanism of death which is the cause. For example because of liver failure due to alcohol poisoning your body's biggest organ can no longer filter ergo death by liver failure. c. Larva and pupa compared are both in a state of change or metamorphosis. The difference is that larva is the immature form of the animal. An example of such would be like a maggot. It is at its basic state of life. Pupa is a cycle in the life of the insect when the larva forms a capsule around itself to become an adult. d. Rigor mortis is the stiffening of the skeletal muscles after death. Livor mortis is the pooling of the blood in tissues after death which results in a reddish color to the skin. B/c of rigor mortis it can be known whether or not the body has been moved or altered at a crime scene. e. Autolysis is the breaking down of cells by self-digestion. Decomposition is the breakdown of the body in its entirety.

2. When explaining the reasoning of the huge abdomen it is b/c the CO2 of the body released by the bacteria in the decomposing body causes the body to become bloated. The CO2 cannot be released out of the body voluntarily unless the body is cut open.

3. Livor mortis would be play a key role in such a theory. The blood in the body begins to settle immediately after death and that lasts for 12 hours. Oddly spotted or discolored spots on the body would indicate the body being moved for example if the body was face down but the back was where the pooled blood settled then it could be concluded that the body has been moved.

4. That conclusion isn't correct. In fact its the opposite. Rigor mortis starts after 2 hours. If it's only found in the neck and face then in actuality its just begun. Rigor mortis works its way down the body rather than the other direction.

5. Blowflies arrive due to the 2 gases of decomposition which are putrescine and cadaverene They arrive first and lay eggs first on the body. Tiny wasps come next to lay eggs on the maggots already present. At the putrefaction stage cheese skippers arrive. They are attracted to the body fluid seepage. Lastly are mites and beetles and they come to feed on the dry tissues and hair.
