Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have developed a new AI model that can more precisely determine the time between death and autopsy, potentially aiding murder investigations. Current methods, such as measuring body temperature, have clear limitations and only work for about a day until the body adapts to the surrounding temperature. The new technique can reportedly be used for up to ten days and provide a fairly good prediction of the interval.
Elin Nyman, a docent at Linköping University, emphasizes that the method needs further testing before it can be applied in real cases. If results continue positively, the technology could become a new and important tool in Swedish forensic medicine.
