A body, a dog, and a fistful of scats.

Dogs and coyotes are the most frequently reported canids responsible for scavenging human remains. We present the case of a 90-year-old woman whose mummified body was found in her home showing partial destruction of the thorax and extremities and absence of the cranium. The victim lived with a beagle dog whose dead body was also found, along with abundant scats throughout the house.

Smoking has a history almost as old as the own leaf of the tobacco, although in fact the act to smoke was restored in the general society after the discovery of America, considering itself even beneficial for the health, but fundamentally like a social and conventional conduct of the high nobility.

At the present the social awareness is tried towards the sanitary prevention.
