mystery writers (books and tv/screen) need to know how bodies look after drowning, car accidents, poisoning, chopped up, etc. ..rotting in freezers, trunks, graves, caves, under floors in wall...coma victims, accident victims, all round murder..
how to hide a murder, how to discover a murder - what were autopsies like in the past, like now, what tests are done on a body to find drugs, drowning, sex, age, etc -
here's a few examples - "what injuries can result from depleted uranium bullets?" or "what types of injuries would occur if a woman was strangled by a cello string?" or "will snake venom injected into fruit cause death?"
You can't just read it all at once but it's a great book to dip into until completed.
