There is a reasonable mortality also exist that are not fair. Unnatural death is
what must befurther explored. In the process of exhumation, to estimate time of death
we use the Post Mortem Interval (PMI). One procedure is to send the PMI estimate
insect larvae found in the parasitology laboratory to find out how old larvae on the
corpse. The growth of fly larvae is strongly influenced by environmental temperature,
food, humidity, light intensity, and contaminants. This experimental study using the
media of two dead rats with an average weight of 160 grams. The first rat was killed by
wayof Methanol 1,5 ml given orally (LD = 900,48 mg / kg). The second rat was killed by
meansslaughtered. Both these carcasses have included two cages each containing 50
flies Muscasp. Observed every 12 hours starting from the larval stage of flies from one
to adult flies. Each growingmedium 5 larvae were randomly taken every day to measure
the length and weight and duration of growth. The results showed that the duration of
larval growth in media containing Methanol more slowly than larvae grown on media
without content Methanol.
