[Part II. The use of entomological methods in determination of the time of death -- case presentations].

The paper presents two cases, in which medico-legal determination of the time of death was supplemented by entomological studies. In Case 1, the possible time of death was determined by a combination of the method based on the sum of effective temperatures with assessment of species composition of insects found on the body. In Case 2, the method based on sum of effective temperatures was combined with an analysis of the isomegalen diagram. The authors demonstrate problems that may be encountered while determining temperature conditions at the site where the corpse stayed prior to its discovery, as well as the effect of local temperature variability on the results of entomological studies.
