Figuring out when someone died is not as simple as the movies make it look. Currently, medical examiners must piece together a mix of clues, body condition, organ tissue samples, blood work, and other laboratory tests to try to nail down both how and when a person died. But there is one piece of that puzzle that's always been tricky: estimating how much time has passed since death, known as the postmortem interval (PMI).
