Evet işte şimdi eksi mi gelecek artı mı çok heyecanlı bir bekleyiş. sinirler gerildi..
@sentor: In this case, it's tough to say. Given that she was in a bath of water, and given the state of the muscle and skin tissue, she could have been there for less than a fortnight. See, when you soak decomposing flesh in water, it absorbs a lot of that water into the cells. This causes them to rupture and... well, melt.
Also, given the the bone looks really clean, it probably wasn't the result of rotting. Rotting generally leaves chunks attached to the bone after its disconnected, tougher tissues like ligaments that don't decompose as easily. In that case, it's more likely the result of the lysis previously mentioned - the cells breaking down because of water.
Oh, and since her face is still mostly intact, and since it's become a home for hundreds of flesh-eating maggots, we know that the time of death has to be at least a week (blowflies and houseflies usually attract to the scene within minutes or hours, and take about 2 days to oviposit, or lay their eggs. It then takes a day or so to hatch those eggs, and the larvae must have been eating for a few days to get to that size).
Since the maggots are up and crawling around, the flesh on the leg could easily have been eaten away at by necrophagous insects, like the aforementioned maggots or even some form of flesh-eating beetle. Since all beetles can fly, it's not impossible, though maggots are much more likely because this is an indoor environment.
If we say that this was in the autumn (which seems likely because of the clothes she's wearing) in south-east Asia (based on her ethnicity, though that's nothing close to a guarantee), then the water temperature is going to be in the mid to low 20s Celsius. That would have a direct impact on the growth of both maggots and bacteria in her gut that would eat away at her internal organs after death. The presence of water would mean that heat produced by bacterial decomposition of her internal organs would be more quickly wicked away, so that wouldn't accelerate maggot growth and may even decelerate it.
Based on this, I reckon time of death was between a week and 2 weeks before discovery. She was almost certainly discovered because other tenants began to smell something disgusting or rotten - that is, her decomposing corpse.
Human decomposition is never pretty.
Deathwatch beetles are not actually linked to death at all! They are so named because an old superstition held that to hear a deathwatch knocking was an omen of impending death within the household. Now we know that they knock as a mating call, and they actually eat the wooden frames of the house. Which, when you think about it, could actually cause death eventually...
In some cases of serious child abuse, the children are found dead with a strange black goo inside what was initially their stomachs! This black goo has been identified to be their oesophageal lining, their stomach lining, their muscular tissue and various other parts of the body, because their bodies get so hungry they had start to eat themselves!
There is a species of jellyfish that is biologically immortal! Turritopsis nutricula, or the immortal jellyfish, is capable of effectively reversing its aging process, turning it back into a juvenile again! This doesn't make it invulnerable to disease or injury though, just old age.
