Oh also my advice from someone who reads too much generally, and too much of this stuff, is try stuff like Dead Men Do Tell Tales first. This one is very interesting from a purely dry, scientific standpoint but hoh-poo poo the photos are something else. The book even says they're not in color to discourage gorehounds, because the authors will send you the color ones if you have a legitimate need. However, they definitely confirm some things you might wonder about as "tall tales", e.g. that small pet dogs absolutely do nibble on corpses if they're stuck in the house. And apparently they love the taste of face.

Also, if you have a male corpse that died in the heat and produced a lot of methane in the decomposing scrotum, you can vent it off with a special needle and ignition of the scrotal gasses (:stonk:)

I had a girlfriend who was fond of "Death's Acre" by Bill Bass and "Stiff" by Mary Roach.

The former is about the "body farm" where they study the decomposition of corpses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tennessee_Anthropological_Research_Facility

Death's Acre is good. tbh I cannot stand anything by Mary Roach, I hate her writing style and think it's twee, self-aggrandizing, and disrespectful.

Yeah, these weren't personal recommendations, although I think I did read at least some of the Bass book. The subject matter just brought those vague memories to mind.

I guess identical requests was not explicitly against the rules.

I'm going to guess page 221 is on identifying bodies which are burnt in fires.
