    Abstract

    Time since death (TSD) also called, as post-mortem interval is an important element in investigation of crime and court trial. The large volume, easy accessibility, resistance to bacterial degradation and relatively inert nature makes the vitreous humour to be the most suitable for chemical analysis. Lactic acid, hypoxanthine and potassium are the common parameters studied in vitreous humour. We aimed to study the change in concentration of potassium in the vitreous humour for estimation of time since death
