THE BODY IN THE BAG: IDENTIFICATION OF SKELETAL REMAINS
In the year 2000, two young lads discovered mummified human remains in a bag lying by the side of a road in Darnall in Sheffield, England. The person had been dead for several years, but who was he? Where had the body been kept for all of this time? Why did he die? Was he murdered and if so, who murdered him? The remains were sent to the Medico-legal Centre in Sheffield, where Dr Martin Evison, Adjunct Associate Professor of Forensic Science at Murdoch University and his team, conducted a full osteological examination. By deciphering the story of his life from information written on his bones they were able to generate a biography of the victim. Ultimately this “osteobiography” led to his identification and all of the questions were answered.
Bob Mead is a biochemist and molecular toxicologist. He established Murdoch University’s Bachelor degree programme in Forensic Biology and Toxicology in 2004. He regularly delivers expert testimony in Court in cases involving drug-related deaths, alcohol-associated traffic crashes and drug-assisted sexual assault.
