Skeletal remains alone often cannot answer the following questions at a crime scene:
What was the cause of death?
What was the time of death?
What were the victim's personal characteristics such as name, age, or occupation?
What was the sequence of events leading up to the death?
Were drugs or poisons involved in the death?
What was the victim's lifestyle or health condition before death?|Were there any witnesses to the crime?
These questions typically require additional evidence and investigative work beyond the analysis of skeletal remains.
