Identifying a deceased person
Can someone explain in the article how a deceased person can be identified by genetic fingerprinting?
I presume DNA is taken from a sample of a body part. Is it compared with a sample known to come from the putative person, before they died? Or is a comparison made against samples from blood relatives? If the latter, what are the principles involved? Is the situation the same as in a paternity test? Thincat 14:53, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
It usually is compared against their parents / dental records / hospital samples and things like that. The procedure isn't fixed: the onus is on the law enforcement officers to use the sample to prove it in a number of ways. -- Natalinasmpf 02:10, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY.
