Time passed since death is made out from gross postmortem changes like cooling of the body, PM staining, rigor mortis, decomposition etc. In the present study histological changes in the liver tissue were studied at various postmortem intervals in the human body died due to road traffic accidents. In this study control can not be taken because the histological changes of tissue after death is influenced a great deal by atmospheric temperature and humidity besides other external and internal factors. Therefore these must be taken into account in all studies of postmortem interval whether histological, biochemical or physical.
