Individual data of the three analyzed autopsy cases. Muscle samples were selected to represent a short (H1), intermediate (H2), and advanced PMI (H3). PMI is stated in hours postmortem (hpm) and ADD in degree days (°d)
| Age | Sex | BMI | PMI (hpm) | ADD (°d) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H1 | 76 | F | 28.7 | 15.8 | ~ 2.6 |
| H2 | 75 | F | 22.9 | 40.7 | ~ 26.0 |
| H3 | 67 | M | n/a* | ≥ 336 | ≥ 280 |
*Body mass index (BMI) calculation was not applicable for H3, due to advanced putrefaction and postmortem weight loss
