RESUMO

This study was based on the estimation of the time since death by correlation of vitreous potassium and "post-mortem" period. We obtained vitreous humour of 40 habbits, that died by the same way, violent death, and we performed timed removal of vitreous humour at an interval of 2 hours until the first 12 hours after death. We performed determination of potassium concentration by flame photometry, and the results were studied by statistical methods. The conclusion was that vitreous potassium rises over the "post-mortem" interval on a statistically significant leveI.
