CHINA Body of a young woman was found partially buried in a shallow grave. She was already in the early stages of decomposition. Forensic experts decided to perform an autopsy at the scene. It doesn’t happen very often, but the so-called field autopsy brings with it a number of advantages. The forensic team is able to see the exact environment where the body was found, the risk of contamination of biological traces is minimised and the cause of death can be determined immediately.
