5 years after a man dies & is burried, forensic tests need to be done the biceps muscle would look like what?

That completely depends on the conditions in the soil- If its fairly dry, you would have a hard, dessicated tissue much like jerky.  In a moist but anoxic soil, the tissue would be well preserved.  In normal moist and oxygenated soil, there would be very little tissue left.

Yes, you can make that request, but it's up to the pertinent authorities to decide whether your request is granted or not. This decision will depend greatly on the circumstances surrounding the demise. If the deceased had a history of a terminal or life-threatening disease, and there's no evidence suggesting that foul-play or medical malpractice was involved, then an autopsy will not be necessary. If the person died under suspicious circumstances [suspected homicide, suicide or drug overdose], the person was alone or unattended at the moment of death, any kind of violence such as child abuse, domestic violence or signs of other criminal activity is involved or suspected, or the cause of death cannot be established by an external examination of the body, then an autopsy is in order. It is also mandatory if a person dies in a hospital less than 48 hours after being admitted for treatment.

Sounds like Theramyuildincide (TYD) a mild form of muscle degeneration.\n\nIt won't kill you, but can leave you with useless limbs as the disease ravages tendons and muscle. \n\nEventually your arm will just hang by your side and will have no real form to it. \n\nI'm sorry. But we've got it early, and there are medical advancements every day in this field. Please don't give up, don't give up hope...

I'm sorry to hear that. Did he just pass away? I'll copy this from a book I have on checklists for everything:\n1) Call a close friend or family member to help you.\n2) Find out is he had already made final arrangements.\n3) Decide about the funeral. The body can remain as is for 72 hours, so you have time to decide on your choices.\n4) If you need to relocate the body before burial plans are finalized, you can ask for a temporary storage at a funeral home. Make sure you indicate the funeral director that you might have a different option of funeral home. You can do that.\n5) Inform friends and family about service after details are finalized.\n6) Keep careful track of the original death certificate. You'll need it. Make a ton of copies.\n7) Decide on an obituary and where it should appear.\nTake care.

The route for this would be to file a civil claim for the benefits. As part of the evidentiary process, DNA samples could be taken from his relatives and your son to determine if he is related to the deceased without exhuming the body. I would talk to a local civil estate lawyer.

All I know for sure is you must have completed high school. You probably also have to qualify in some sort of fitness regimen. My friend is presently taking a course on line. One name for this type of work is Forensic Science Specialist.

To close the eye the muscles must contract. to open they have to flex ( relax ). In most cases the muscle relaxes to the open position. It can be forced closed during the embalming process and usually stay shut, as tissue remains, in the final fixture as the chemicals cure the body. Extremeties have more muscle mass, so they tend to remain in the found position at time of death.

When a person dies, a stiffening of the body occurs called rigor mortis.  \nThis is due to a build up of lactic acid in the body due to a lack of \nmetabolism and the muscles stiffen up.  You may have experieced a cramp or \n"Charlie horse" in a muscle after running or working out.  Lactic acid has \nbuilt up in your muscle and has caused a stiffening of the muscle.\n\nRigor mortis is temporary; eventually the muscles become flaccid again as \ndecomposition sets in.

Embalming as practiced in the funeral homes of the Western World uses several steps. Modern embalming techniques are not the result of a single practitioner, but rather the accumulation of many decades, even centuries, of research, trial and error and invention. A standardized version follows below but variation on techniques is very common.\n\nThe first thing an embalmer should do is verify the identity of the deceased (normally via wrist or leg tags) and perform basic tests for signs of death, such as clouded-over corneas, lividity, and rigor mortis. While people awakening on the mortuary table is largely the province of horror fiction and urban myth, testing for death is still a final additional precaution. Any clothing on the corpse is removed and set aside; jewelry, also, is inventoried. A modesty cloth is then placed over the deceased's genitalia for dignity. Following this the corpse is washed in disinfecting and germicidal solutions, shaved, and groomed. The embalmer bends, flexes and massages the arms and legs to relieve rigor mortis. The eyes are closed and kept closed with an eyecap that keeps them shut and in the proper expression. The mouth may be closed via suturing with a needle and ligature, using an adhesive, wire or a needle injector, a specialised device most commonly utilised in North America and unique to mortuary practise. Care is taken to make the expression look as relaxed and natural as possible and ideally a recent photograph of the deceased while still living is used as a template. The process of closing the mouth, eyes, shaving etc is collectively known as setting the features.\n\nThe actual embalming process usually involves four parts:\n\nArterial embalming, which involves the injection of embalming chemicals into the blood vessels, usually via the right common carotid artery. Blood is displaced from the right jugular vein. The embalming solution is injected through a mechanical pump and the embalmer massages the corpse to ensure a proper distribution of the embalming fluid. In case of poor circulation, other injection points are used. \nCavity embalming, the suction of the internal fluids of the corpse and the injection of embalming chemicals into body cavities, using an aspirator and trocar. The embalmer makes a small incision just above the navel and pushes the trocar in the chest and stomach cavities to puncture the hollow organs and aspirate their contents. He then fills the cavities with concentrated chemicals that contain formaldehyde. The incision is either sutured closed or a "trocar button" is screwed into place. \nHypodermic embalming, the injection of embalming chemicals under the skin as needed. \nSurface embalming, which supplements the other methods, especially for visible, injured body parts. \nMost good embalmings are completed in two or three hours, although an easy case may take less and complicated cases can take days.

Rigor mortis is a condition that affects the muscles, not the bones.  It is a chemical condition that occurs after death.  It isn't permanent, it usually disappears after 24 hours.  Then the body goes limp again.

"2. To begin a cause it is necessary for at least 5 years to have passed since the death of the candidate. This is to allow greater balance and objectivity in evaluating the case and to let the emotions of the moment dissipate.\n-------------------------------------\n\nI thought it was 15 years.

Only if you can prove that the heart attack was work-related.  You will need a coroner's report or autopsy in most cases.  It will probably be a long, drawn-out legal battle but it will be worth it.  They will pay for his funeral too, but there might be a deductable.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

A few hours after a person or animal dies, the joints of the body stiffen and become locked in place. This stiffening is called rigor mortis. Depending on temperature and other conditions, rigor mortis lasts approximately 72 hours. The phenomenon is caused by the skeletal muscles partially contracting. The muscles are unable to relax, so the joints become fixed in place.\n\nMore specifically, what happens is that the membranes of muscle cells become more permeable to calcium ions. Living muscle cells expend energy to transport calcium ions to the outside of the cells. The calcium ions that flow into the muscle cells promote the cross-bridge attachment between actin and myosin, two types of fibers that work together in muscle contraction. The muscle fibers ratchet shorter and shorter until they are fully contracted or as long as the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are present. However, muscles need ATP in order to release from a contracted state (it is used to pump the calcium out of the cells so the fibers can unlatch from each other). ATP reserves are quickly exhausted from the muscle contraction and other cellular processes. This means that the actin and myosin fibers will remain linked until the muscles themselves start to decompose.\n\nRigor mortis can be used to help estimate time of death. The onset of rigor mortis may range from 10 minutes to several hours, depending on factors including temperature (rapid cooling of a body can inhibit rigor mortis, but it occurs upon thawing). Maximum stiffness is reached around 12-24 hours post mortem. Facial muscles are affected first, with the rigor then spreading to other parts of the body. The joints are stiff for 1-3 days, but after this time general tissue decay and leaking of lysosomal intracellular digestive enzymes will cause the muscles to relax. It is interesting to note that meat is generally considered to be more tender if it is eaten after rigor mortis has passed.

biceps go from shoulder down the inside of your arm to elbow..when you "flex your muscles" in your arms to show how strong you are...those are your biceps...triceps..three different sets..run from shoulder on the outer side down to elbow...bicep curls..elbows glued to ribs..slowly raise and lower weights...tricep..knee on bench..lean forward a little..light weight..bend elbow forward and then back behind you...dont need lots of weight to get results...water exercise and swimming excellent for arms too...

Under the circumstances we currently bury the dead, it can be well over 20.  Medgar Evers was exhumed many years after his death and he was very well preserved.  Some say he look almost as he did when on the day he was buried.  Body parts such as the tongue and eyes change considerably because of the lack of the water in the body.

I'd say a dog, but everyone would laugh.  \n\nSo, then just call your local police or hospital, tell them you found a bone, and they might ask you if you killed the person whom the bone belonged to, say NO.\n\nNo seriously, do call your local police, hospital, or fire department, they will send someone to collect it.  They will then study it, see what they come up with, could be of someone who was killed, or who knows.  But check with them too.\n\nCheers!
