Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it can be helpful to figuring out time of death, or situational matters, there are many variables that go into play. Mainly using it as time of death isn't as precise as decomposition levels or other methods, this imprecision can negatively impacts the case. There are factors that play in digestion and in person to person case that may limit how accurate the stomach content investigation is.
