Assignment:
Review the scene photos. In a Word document, complete the following:
Write a descriptive narrative of the decedent and the scene.
Identify 3 items of potential evidence, other than the body itself, and explain how each item may help with determining cause of death, manner of death, positive ID of the decedent, and/or locating the legal next-of-kin.
Briefly describe what information or records you need to track down. State how the information or records will assist with determining cause of death, manner of death, positively identifying the decedent, and/or locating the legal next-of-kin. Briefly describe who or what agency or organization can provide the information or records.
You are not to solve the case! You should write 1 to 2 paragraphs per question (double-spaced, 1" margins, Times New Roman 12 pt. font).
