The three cadavers showed similar overall successional changes in bacterial taxa as the bodies decomposed."Microorganisms coexist with us during life, playing an important role in both health and disease. Upon death and as the decomposition process advances, bacterial communities change according to the newly set environmental conditions," said Dr. Joe Adserias-Garriga, lead author of the Molecular Oral Microbiology study.
"Our aim is to use those changes in the oral microbiome to estimate time since death."
'Microbial Clock' may Help Determine Time of Death: New CU-Boulder-led Study

Dementia Patients More Likely to be in Their Homes at the Time of Death
Contrary to widespread belief that patients with dementia often move to nursing homes and die there, majority of the patients are living at their own homes at the time of their death.
