The report presents two cases, in which medico-legal assessment of the time of death was supplemented by entomological studies. In Case 1, where the corpse was completely mummified, insects found on the body allowed for determining that death had occurred 1-1.5 years prior to discovery of the victim, thus making it possible to determine the upper limit of the relevant time range, what could not have been accomplished based solely on medico-legal examinations. In Case 2, where highly advanced postmortem changes rendered precise determination of the time of death by medico-legal methods impossible, and the insect species living on the body suggested that death had occurred approximately 3-6 months prior to discovery of the corpse, non-scientific data demonstrated that death might have occurred not earlier than slightly more than two months before the body was found.
该报告介绍了两个案例，其中通过昆虫学研究对死亡时间的法医鉴定进行了补充。在案例1中，尸体已完全木乃伊化，在尸体上发现的昆虫使得能够确定受害者死亡时间为发现尸体前1至1.5年，从而有可能确定相关时间范围的上限，而这仅通过法医检查是无法完成的。在案例2中，高度晚期的死后变化使得通过法医方法精确确定死亡时间变得不可能，且在尸体上发现的昆虫种类表明死亡发生在发现尸体前约3至6个月，但非科学数据显示死亡可能不会早于尸体被发现前略多于两个月的时间。
