In murder cases, the body of the deceased has practical importance in the criminal investigation of a death. This comparative study considers the position held in legislation concerning the protection of the corpse as an investigation tool. Such protection may relate to the objective protection of the corpse, or to procedural protection aimed at regulating the procedures that must be followed during the examination of the body. The protection must also take into account the body’s right to privacy, including the value it carries for the deceased’s family and loved ones.
