Background: Forensic entomology has introduced new methods that are recommended to determine the cause, manner, and time since death, particularly for deteriorated, putrid bodies discovered at unexpected places. This scientific field provides new techniques that are applicableto molecular studies, such as DNA analysis based on entomological data. Numerous techniquesare used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval, depending on the location and state ofthe corpse as well as the circumstances surrounding its discovery.Objectives: Since forensic pathologists always face the difficult task of excluding misleadingevidence when investigating cases of unnatural deaths or when the corpse has been movedfrom the original crime scene, this review aimed to provide a broad overview of the potentialapplications and advantages of forensic entomology data in criminal investigations in courts. Inaddition to highlighting the factors that can negatively influence the use of these entomologicalevidences.Conclusion: Various factors could affect the entomological data collected from a crime scene butcareful analysis accompanied by thorough observations and evaluations could overcome suchobstacles in an investigation.
