    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the development and changes of pressure of putrefactive gas (PPG) in cadaveric enterocelia in spring, and to explore its application in estimation of postmortem interval (EPI). METHODS: 57 goats were divided into 2 groups according to means of death, on land or in water. Celiac PPG were observed timely and systematically. RESULTS: The development of PPG in cadaveric enterocelia, which can be divided into raising phase, peak phase, and declining phase was observed, and a model to estimate postmortern interval by changes of PPG was founded. CONCLUSION: Measuring PPG in cadaveric enterocelia could be used in forensic EPI.
