Cell Mechanisms of Post-Mortem Excitability of Skeletal Muscle by H. Stigter, T. Krap, W. L. J. M. Duijst

“…<b>Background/Objectives:</b> The excitability of skeletal muscle is a less-known post-mortem supravital phenomenon in human bodies, and it can be used to estimate the post-mortem interval. We conducted a field study in the Netherlands to investigate the applicability of muscle excitability (SMR) by mechanical stimulation for estimating the post-mortem interval in daily forensic practice. …”
