Results of the poll!

The second question about forensic medicine was: "The maceration of the skin of a corpse (tissues and organs get soft, causing white and cold skin) shows that... ". 20 people accepted the challenge and answered the question. And the results were:


- The body was in a cold environment - 6 votes

- The body was submerged in water - 9 votes

- Death was instantaneous - 2 votes

- The cause of death was poisoning - 3 votes


The correct answer was the second option, which was also the most voted. As for other options, we inform that when a corpse is in a cold environment, it gets cold too because it comes into thermal balance with the place where it is inserted. Regarding the third option, we want alert you for the fact that a death is never instantaneous. It is a kind of process of dismantling the body that can be fast or slow. Finally, the verification that the cause of death is poisoning is not based in one symptom, depending on the poison administered.


Continue voting because a new question is available!
