DISASTER VICTIM IDENTIFICATION (DVI)

HOW TO USE THE PINK POST-MORTEM (PM) FORM Please write legibly. I. RULES TO BE OBSERVED ON THE DISASTER SITE No body should be moved before its location has been recorded. All personal effect that undoubtedly belonged to a deceased individual should be collected and kept with the body or parts of the body of that individual. Any other effects should be recorded as unidentified and kept separately in the first instance. A moisture resistant number card should be attached to each body or unidentified part of a body to ensure that it cannot get lost. II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The PM form is designed for listing all obtainable data about a dead body that may assist in its identification in order to compare that data with the information obtained at the place of residence of the possible victim or missing person and recorded on the yellow antemortem form. IMPORTANT: Record all data that can be obtained, since it is impossible to know what information will be supplied at the victim's place of residence for comparison purposes.

The layout of the form is intended to correspond to the actual sequence of events, and allows a simultaneous examination of effects, body, and teeth. Where provided, use the appropriate figures for description. EXAMPLE: Section C1: Fill in the figures "0203" in the "No." column at item 24 to designate a pullover and describe the material, etc. in the space provided for this information.

Whereever appropriate, boxes that can simply be marked with a cross are provided. Please use as many of them as possible. This will facilitate electronic processing of the information and also make it possible to handle reports compiled in a foreign language without translation (the Interpol Member States all use the same forms). For this reason, the layout is the same for the AM and PM forms.

[(GB) Version 2008]

III. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS Section B Recovery of body from site: Fill in this form during recovery from the site of the disaster and add the number from the number-board attached to the body or part of the body.

The INTERPOL Victim Identification Form, Sections F1 and F2

GENERAL INFORMATION
The INTERPOL Victim Identification Form consists of several sections - divided into two groups: 1) YELLOW FORMS for listing latest known data concerning a mission person; 2) PINK FORMS for listing all findings concerning a dead body. Identification of a dead body may become possible if data listed on the pink forms concerning this body can be compared with, and shown to match, data listed on the yellow forms concerning one particular missing person. If an identification is made, the experts involved will complete an Identification-Report - as a prerequisite to issuing a death certificate and releasing the body for burial. The identification of a dead body may be accomplished in several ways, depending upon the type of data used. The INTERPOL Victim Identification Form has been set up in such a way, that sections listing the same type of data are marked with the same capital letter in the upper right-hand corner. For dental identification, the forms to use areSections F1 and F2 (yellow), and Sections F1 and F2 (pink); because of the specialised vocabulary, they must be filled in by a forensically trained dentist.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - SECTION F1 AND F2 PM (pink)

These forms are designed for listing all dental information collected during the dental examination of an unknown dead body (or remains therof). In Section F1, make sure that the reference number is clearly shown - and that the sex is clearly indicated (boxes at the top). Fill in all the details requested further down. Under "Supplementary Details", list any information at hand that may serve to explain the results obtained from the dental investigation, eg. where and when the body was found (co-ordinates), its condition (drowned, burned, skeleton), your own working conditions, presumed identity. In Section F2, all dental findings related to the dead body must be listed. After having etablished full access to both jaws and cleaned all remaining teeth, describe in the spaces provided - tooth by tooth, at the right upper jaw with tooth 18, ending in the right lower jaw with tooth 48 - all treatment and other conditions found. Indicate surfaces by using Capital-Letter System: M = mesial, O = occlusal, D = distal, V = vestibular, L = lingual; if other abbreviations are used, please explain them in one of the boxes further down. (NOTE: there must be a notation for every tooth (or corresponding jaw area) recovered as part of the body!)- Next, sketch on the dental chart the location and extent of all fillings and other conditions found. For colour distinction, use black for amalgam, red for gold, and green for tooth-coloured material. For teeth missing antemortem, put large cross (X) over the appropriate tooth square; for teeth missing postmortem (open socket), encircle the tooth number over/under the corresponding tooth square; for jaws sections not recovered, leave unmarked. Make sure that sketch and text tally. All X-rays taken in connection with the oral autopsy must be listed (type, date of exposure, teeth concerned). Supplementary examination may include photographic, microscopic, scanning electron microscopic (SEM), or metallographic examination of teeth and/or restoration removed from the body. Finally, and evaluation of age should always be given, either your own clinical estimate or, if teeth have been removed for this purpose, the method used and the result. Once Section F2 has been completed, type your name, address and telephone number (or use your professional stamp) in the box at the bottom of Section F1. Finally, enter the date of completion above your personal signature. Remember - this is a legal document, so keep a full copy for your own file.
