“…Loss of cell adhesion and cell wall disruption leads to clumping of nucleus to the centre of the acini both serous and mucous forming a fi ligree pattern in the later stage that is between 16-24hrs. Our study results are consistent with that of Bardale R and Nery et al, 4,11 where they have also reported that serous acini are faster to undergo autolysis while mucous acini undergo degenerative changes close to 24 hrs.…”

Background: In biological system, cells are considered as dynamic and complex structures likewise cellular disintegration is also a complex process which occurs in a sequence. Therefore, these autolytic cellular changes have been investigated by forensic pathologist in an attempt to find markers that may assist in determining the time of death. In this study we attempt to analyse the efficacy of oral soft tissues specifically salivary gland in concluding the time since death.Methodology: After obtaining approval from the human ethical committee, informed consent from the relative of the corpse and the investigating police officer, demographic information, as well as post mortem number was recorded. Submandibular Salivary Gland was collected for histopathological analysis during routine autopsy procedure. The specimens were fixed immediately in 10% formalin, processed, sectioned and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. The stained sections were evaluated under light microscope for histopathological changes. Conclusion.The histopathological changes in the autopsied salivary gland tissue can be used as an adjuvant to estimate the post-mortem interval.
