The authors report herein the entomological evidence from the first documented forensic floating corpse in Thailand. The male remains of unknown name and age was found in the waterside of a reservoir in Lampang province, northern Thailand. Approximately 13-16 wounds resulting from sharp-edged material were found on the body. Numerous third-instar of blowflies Chrysomya megacephala (F) and Chrysomya rufifacies Macquart (Diptera: Calliphoridae) were collected, and the entomological evidence of the latter species could be used to estimate approximately 7 days of the postmortem interval. This is the first report of C. megacephala as forensic important fly species in Thailand. Additional research is needed to ascertain the effects of water on the succession and development of both fly species subsequently coming to associate with a corpse so treated in Thailand.
作者在此报告了泰国首例有记录的法医漂浮尸体的昆虫学证据。在泰国北部南邦府一个水库的水边发现了一具身份不明、年龄不详的男性遗体。尸体上发现了大约13 - 16处由利器造成的伤口。采集到了大量大头金蝇（Chrysomya megacephala (F)）和红金蝇（Chrysomya rufifacies Macquart）（双翅目：丽蝇科）的三龄幼虫，后一种昆虫的证据可用于估计死后间隔约7天。这是大头金蝇作为泰国法医重要蝇类物种的首次报告。需要进一步研究以确定水对这两种随后与在泰国如此处理的尸体相关联的蝇类演替和发育的影响。
