title: Homicide followed by freezing and burning: usefulness of measuring SCHAD (short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) activity.
abstract: An observation of homicide in which the victim was frozen, then burned, was reported. This confirmed the usefulness of measuring SCHAD (short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) activity in the freezing of a human corpse despite unusual circumstances.
