X-files/ 5th season:
1990 - In a rural area of Wisconsin, a landlord and the local sheriff go to the residence of Edward Skur to evict him from his dilapidated residence. The sheriff seem reluctant but it's obvious the place is in a state of disrepair and the landlord says when he meets the old guy, he won't feel as bad. They knock repeatedly on the door but nobody answers. Finally, the sheriff draws his weapon and they enter trying vainly not to smell the place which the sheriff notes "smells like a whole lot of something went bad."
As they search the house, they can see the extent of the damage and general mess. Aside from the smell, there are flies buzzing around but no sign of Skur. No Edward but thingyroaches...lots and lots of roaches. Heading up the stairs, the landlord pushes open the bathroom door and begins to heave, covering his nose and mouth. He rushes down the stair retching as the sheriff takes a look inside. His first view is what he believes to be an old glove but closer examination reveals the hand of a [glow=red,2,300]desiccated corpse[/glow]. As he stares transfixed at the blackened corpse, he is suddenly attacked from behind by the seldom seen resident, Skur. Getting off a shot at his attacker, the sheriff rushes to the top of the stairs as Edward Skur tumbles to the bottom. His dying word is "Mulder."

....a quote from the Body Farm: Why is time since death so important? When I'm called to a murder scene, the first question the police ask me is nearly always, "How long has this person been dead?" It's crucial to know when the crime was committed, because that can really help narrow the search for a suspect--or can help rule out potential suspects who had alibis at the time the victim was killed. Now, if the body's fresh--no more than a day or two old--a medical examiner can generally pin down the time since death to within a matter of hours. But if the body's badly decayed--for instance, if it was dumped in the woods and lay there for weeks or months before being found by hunters--determining time since death requires detailed knowledge of the stages of decomposition, the role of temperature and humidity, the extent of insect activity in the corpse, and so on. Those are the kinds of variables we've spent decades researching at the Body Farm. www.deathsacre.com/faq.html
