Post-mortem chemistry, also called Necrochemistry or Death chemistry is a subdiscipline of chemistry in which the chemical structures, reactions, processes and parameters of a dead organism is investigated. Post-mortem chemistry plays a significant role in forensic pathology. Biochemical analyses of vitreous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, blood and urine are the important parameters in determining the cause of death or in elucidating forensic cases.[1]
