What exhumation?It is a term that refers to removing a corpse from the grave or another burial site.Quite a specific process, but it is carried out quite often.But, of course, not without reasons.
Classification
exhumation of the body, as well as many other processes, has its own classification.It was proposed in far 1966.There are officially permitted exhumation, also called legitimate.These are the ones that are carried out forensic purpose for the transfer of the corpse of a cemetery or to another place in order to identify the buried man (these are the cases that have nothing to do with the investigation or criminal investigation).Finally, such a body could be exhumed held in historical or scientific purposes.This is the largest class.There are two more - a random exhumation (ie, detection of the body in the dismantling of the building or in the process of digging), as well as criminal.The latter is usually carried out for the purpose of abuse of a corpse, and looting, no matter how it sounded awful, necrophilia.
Documentary position
Exhumation - this is a very responsible and serious process, and on the basis of its specificity, it assures documented.First of all instances that are prescribed process set directly place where the body is buried.If the exhumation must necessarily present a forensic expert, a representative of the court or the investigating authorities, witnesses, a man working at the cemetery, and people close to the deceased.Also constitute a relevant protocol.In it it represents a place where the exhumation was carried out (this is often the cemetery), describe the tomb (sometimes applied picture), note the condition of the coffin and the depth at which it is located.The next stage - a description of the contents of the coffin.All that there is need to identify the relatives or friends of the deceased.Exhume the body is subjected to a primary or secondary opening.Often it turns out to get through this very important information that are sometimes evidence.
Reason for
Most often exhumation - a way to find evidence through autopsy or re-identification.An occasion for the meeting is the fact that the body which conducts the investigation, information on the criminal burial.Also decide to exhume if there had been no forensic or postmortem examination.More may be necessary, if the information obtained during the initial survey was incomplete or in the process of investigation has reasonable doubts about their credibility.And finally, you may need to remove any objects that were buried with the dead.Often it turns out to find that the grave should not be.
Exhumations, which said
There are some cases of retrieving the deceased person, which for a long time, then said.This includes, for example, the exhumation of Nikolai Gogol.This was done in order to carry the ashes of the great writer in Novodevichy Cemetery.And how many of rumors spawned exhumed Hitler was talking about just in the past year?But in fact it turned out later that it was not the body of the Fuhrer, but just a man much like him.However, despite this, the whole expedition went to Brazil (where it occurred exhumed Hitler, or rather, its copy).A couple of years ago, even the idea of ​​extracting from the land of the remains of Stalin.But what it would be important to science - we have not figured out, so that this idea was not implemented.
Preparation
exhumations require advance preparation.Firstly, it should be designated goal pursued by researchers.Secondly, we must determine how realistic is it to achieve.You also need to remember that the body will not be buried in the same as in the day of his burial - still for a certain period of time it decomposes and undergoes other changes that may affect the course of research.They are both small and quite significant.It all depends on how long the sample body into the burial place of what his condition (geographical and meteorological) where the deceased was buried (in the ground in the urn in water or in the crypt).It is important that even in what things was dressed corpse.
Act burial
And finally, a few words about how to re-bury the body after the exhumation of the corpse was carried out.It drafted a law on funeral business, which imposes certain environmental and health requirements.It is necessary to place has been selected with a good ground - it should be dry, with at least 2 meters deep.Not allowed to bury the body where it may be the likelihood of landslides and destruction.If there is a need, it is necessary to conduct engineering training at the place where the burial is planned.Finally, the need to find good coffin - either of wood or of material which is immune to influence mineralization.And, of course, is an employee of the cemetery burial is recorded, indicating that the previously conducted the exhumation of the body.Of course, an ordinary person would not engage all of the above - it has appropriate authorities.However, be aware of the specifics of this process still follows the more so if it is to be.
