Fresh, Bloat, Active Decay, Advanced Decay and Dry Remains. There’s a rhythm and a pattern to decomposition. This body, found on a hillside, is in Active Decay. Flies are swarming, maggots wriggling. But could these unseen undertakers of the insect world tell us more about how long the body had been there? Forensic entomologist Clive Warsop and Forensic Odontologist Scheila Manica continue their investigations. This episode includes references to death, decay and dissection, which some listeners may find distressing. Our victim is fictional, but the science and the scientists are very real. A Whistledown production for BBC Sounds.
