Accurately determining the time since death is a crucial objective in medico-legal investigations. Because of the latest developments in estimating time since death, we now have a more accurate way of determining the post-mortem interval. For over a century, scientists have dedicated their efforts to exploring various techniques for estimating the time since death. Previous approaches relied on various indicators such as body temperature reduction, muscle stiffness, eye changes, decomposition, vital reactions, and stomach contents. The methods used were quite basic, resulting in only a rough estimation of the time. As a result of the imprecise nature of the study, attention has now turned towards biochemical methods. The biochemical methods rely on systematic pathophysiological changes and are considered more accurate due to their reduced susceptibility to external conditions. It is challenging to determine the precise time of death in medicolegal cases due to the unpredictable and frequently misunderstood post-mortem changes that occur in the human body. This review examines the most dependable physical and biochemical techniques for determining the post-mortem interval. The aim is to uncover the reasons behind the limited popularity and practicality of these methods in routine forensic medicine cases, despite their previous success in various studies.
