The present investigation was performed with the objective of developing a method to estimate how long a corpse had been immersed in water after death (the time since death). Accurate determination of the time elapsed since death may lead to identification of the place of drowning, and therefore, serves not only as a piece of information useful for determination of the cause of death but also leads to prompt identification of the body. The results showed that diatoms attached to the surface of dental enamel increased with prolongation of immersion time in water. Further, as the immersion time increased, the quantity of O, Si, Mg, K, Al, and S detected on the surface of dental enamel increased, while the quantity of the main dental components (Ca and P) that were detected gradually decreased. Based on these results, we calculated a regression formula to estimate the immersion time. Our method is considered to be a breakthrough technique for evaluating the time since death more objectively, compared to the conventional method of determination based on the degree of decomposition of the corpse.
