[For] corpses found in advanced stages of decomposition, arthropods may provide the only method available for estimating a minimum post-mortem interval (PMI). It should be noted, however, that the estimate of PMI for a corpse in an advanced stage of decomposition may be unreliable as successional waves elapse over time and numerous environmental factors come into play that may diminish the accuracy of the estimate. 1, record 1, English, - body%20in%20an%20advanced%20stage%20of%20decomposition
