Wisconsin 720 Law Enforcement Academy Phase III Practice Exam

Putrid dry remains include which of the following?

Soft tissue remains Skeletal remains, bone, tendons, hair remain Blood residue Ashes of corpse

Correct Answer:

Skeletal remains, bone, tendons, hair remain

Explanation:

Putrid dry remains describe a stage where the body has dried out after extensive decomposition, leaving the harder tissues behind. In this state, soft tissues have largely disappeared, but skeletal elements persist along with any tendons and hair that remain attached. That’s why skeletal remains, bone, tendons, and hair are the characteristic remnants. Blood residue isn’t typical, and ashes result from cremation, not natural decay.
