Irish case report on the multidisciplinary approach towards identification of a human skull recovered from the sea (original) (raw)

Irish Association for …, 2011

Abstract

This presentation outlines the multidisciplinary and international effort to identify a human skull recovered by a fishing trawler from the sea near Kilmore Quay in County Wexford, Ireland. The various forensic and scientific disciplines involved and the analytical procedures undertaken are described: Police Procedure; Forensic Pathology; Forensic Anthropology; CRANID Analysis; Forensic Radiography; Dentistry; Stable Isotope Analysis; Forensic Facial Reconstruction; DNA Profiling. The information gleaned from the results of the various disciplines served to significantly reduce the volume of missing persons requiring investigation. This information also allowed us to build up a picture of the life and death of the deceased and to create a biological profile used for a public appeal by the national and international media. This case presentation demonstrates the important nature of multidisciplinary international cooperation.
