Undigested gastric content in autopsy revealing the story: A Case report

The examination of gastric contents in an autopsy is an underestimated tool for determining the time since death. We are reporting a case of a 25-year-old married female, who died due to "putting pressure over neck" as suggested by the post-mortem report. Two FIRs were lodged, one from the husband and another by the brother of the deceased, both claiming the different story regarding the event of death. Detection of 300ml of undigested rice food stuff in stomach in the postmortem examination and its correlation with the time of meal eventually revealed the mystery of death.
