The cause of death can also be preserved, for example stabbing, gunshot wound, etc. (2) Formation of adipoceresIt occurs in bodies kept underwater for more than three weeks, this leads to the hydrogenation of unsaturated body fats palmitic and oleic acids to saturated stearic acid due to the effect of lipases endogenous and bacterial enzymes.
