University of Tennessee Body Farm

The University of Tennessee Body Farm is a research facility where human remains are studied to understand how bodies decompose in different environments. Forensic scientists use this knowledge to help solve crimes by estimating the time of death and understanding decay processes. The farm provides a controlled outdoor setting where bodies can be observed over time, offering valuable data that improves forensic investigations. It's a key resource in forensic science for advancing methods used to identify victims and determine cause and time of death accurately.
