✦ Synopsis


Different methods such as X-ray examination of the skeleton and inspection of the teeth have been described for estimation of the age of an unidentified dead person. These methods are more or less exact but the results will not be available until many days after the autopsy. In the present paper, we present a fairly simple method to obtain information on the age of a deceased using amyloid inclusions in the choroid plexus epithelial cells.
