Types of Homicide

Bludgeoning with a blunt instrument

Only likely to be fatal if is on the head. Death is usually from skull fracture pushing fragments of bone into the brain, or internal bleeding between the skull and the dura - the membrane covering the brain.

Burning

Usually kills by asphyxia from smoke inhalation. Bodies exposed to intense heat are stiffened, posed like a boxer ready to fight. As burning is sometimes used to cover up other crimes the presence of burns on the body needn’t imply that this was the cause of death.

Drowning

Kills by asphyxia, as the lungs fill with liquid.

Embolism

Clogging of the blood vessels with air, or sometimes fat. This blocks blood supply to the heart or brain. A fat embolism is rare but can happen when burning or other injury releases fat particles into the blood.

Explosives

Kills in a variety of ways: flash burns, disintegration of body, effects of air pressure. Also by the results of the explosion - flying glass, collapsing buildings etc.

Gunshot and knife wounds

Mortal when a major organ is touched or blood is not stopped after an artery is cut.

Suicide and homicide can normally be distinguished by the direction of the thrust. Also, suicides normally take the clothing off the part of the body there are going to stab.

Strangulation

By hand, a ligature, or hanging. Death is by asphyxia. Homicidal strangulation will almost always fracture the hyoid bone. Manual strangulation tends to leave finger-shaped bruises and sometimes nail marks in the skin.

Suffocation

Suffocation: If there isn’t enough oxygen in the air, such as when trapped in a small space

Smothering: Caused by an object over the mouth and nose, such as a pillow or the murderer’s hand.

Choking: Caused by an obstruction in the airway - food, inhaled vomit etc Seldom used in homide, except when people choke on their gags.

Crush asphyxia

Caused by pressure on the chest, such as a collapsed building, or in a crowd. Post-mortem appearances include a lot of hemorrhaging between the chest and head, cyanosis, bulging eyes etc.
