Identification of remains

Identification of remains involves determining who a deceased person was by examining physical characteristics, such as bones, dental records, and DNA. Forensic experts compare these features to known information, like personal records or genetic profiles, to establish identity. This process can include visual analysis, fingerprinting, dental comparisons, and genetic testing. Accurate identification is essential for legal, humanitarian, and closure purposes, ensuring that the individual's identity is confirmed beyond doubt before authorities notify families or proceed with further steps.
