MORPHOLOGY AND FEATURES OF POSTMORTEM INJURIES CAUSED BY DOGS’ TEETH

Summary/Abstract: The family of Canidae is common to all continents, and the main representatives of this breed – domestic dogs – live in close proximity to people. They have a number of traumatic parts of the body, the main of which are teeth and claws. The morphology and features of postmortem injuries of soft tissues and bones inflicted by the teeth of dogs are considered. It has been confirmed that such traumas have a specific picture allowing for a qualitative examination of the incident scene; a detailed study of the corpse and its clothes, as well as the ease to differentiate them from other types of exposures (blunt and sharp objects, explosive trauma, etc.). Moreover, in damages of various tissues of the human body, not only the signs of the dog’s teeth impact but the mechanism of this effect, which allows to speak about conditions of their formation, are fully and sufficiently displayed. This knowledge is necessary for each expert-thanatologist in his practical work.
