The medical examiner/coroner's guide for contaminated deceased body management

The Medical Examiner and Coroner’s Guide for Contaminated Deceased Body Management is written specifically for the medical examiner or coroner who will be in charge of the death investigations when fatalities result from terrorism or other hostile and aggressive acts. In some such cases, agents may be used that will require mitigation of environmental hazards and decontamination of human bodies. To that end, this Guide provides information and suggestions that may be useful in understanding the principles involved in decontamination procedures, recognizing that it may not be the medical examiner or coroner staff who actually conducts decontamination procedures.
