Was it Suicide, Homicide or Accident?


One of the most common questions in death investigation is: "Was it a Suicide?". This
question may often go unanswered due to lack of sufficient official investigation or attention
to evidence.

One of the most common questions in death investigation is: "Was it a Suicide?". This question may often go unanswered due to lack of sufficient official investigation or attention to evidence. This leaves the possibility of closure for the families impossible, particularly if foul play is suspected, or even an accident. The wrong determination can also result in benefits,
such as life insurance or worker compensation, underpaid - or worse, denied.
At Associates in Forensic Investigations, LLC (AFI-LLC - www.Forensic-Investigators.com), we have found that families, as well as our colleagues and attorney clients, are often unsure if a complete investigation is necessary, or how to determine the necessity of a full Equivocal Death Investigation. Often, just the assurance that a proper investigation was completed is all that is necessary, and warranted.

At AFI-LLC, we are experts in Medicolegal Death Investigation, there are a limited number of
qualified experts in the country, very few with the team work combined with our education, training and skills, and even fewer with affiliate forensic experts that include a forensic pathologist and forensic toxicologist, as well as other available specialties.

First, what is 'Equivocal'? Equivocal is unanswered, or lingering questions.

Second, what is the difference between 'Analysis' and 'Investigation'?

In an analysis we will review specific information to determine if proper protocols
were followed.

You have contacted AFI-LLC because you have unanswered and lingering questions.  The purpose of an analysis is two-fold. The first is to determine if there is a recommendation to conduct an in-depth investigation; and second, to determine the recommendations.

It is our experience that most death investigation cases presented to us were conducted  under accepted and recommended protocols and procedures. We cannot


AFI-LLC is available to consult with investigators, attorneys, insurance companies and families to answer these questions.

The Quint-Essential Qualities of a Professional Investigator...
Skills Appropriate for the Assignment
Law firms and medical offices specialize - Professional Investigators also specialize.  Their casework and continuing education should also be in your specialized areas.

Experience and Knowledge
Professional Investigators strive to maintain and further these. All professions have requirements of continuing education.  The CLI program requires extensive compliance with continuing education.

Responsible and Ethical Conduct
Every component of the investigation has evidentiary considerations. Professional Investigators hold themselves to a higher standard and leaves no question as to the admissibility of their evidence.  Information without ethics is not evidence.

Effective Communication
Professional Investigators maintain communication with the attorney, client, witnesses, and other key persons in the investigation.  Moreover, reports are the product of an organized investigation and should reflect the work product you expect.

Keyword - 'Professional'
Honesty, Integrity & Intelligence.  These define Professional Investigators and gives you the confidence that your case is in competent and skilled hands.

Practical Methods for Legal Investigations Legal investigators are responsible for providing factual evidence - as the fact finders, they are the foundation for the attorneys they work with daily. The attorney is responsible for forming and implementing the legal strategy and presenting it to the judge or jury. The legal investigator provides checks and balances to ensure that no evidence is being forced upon a theory, and that no theory is being forced upon the evidence. Practical Methods for Legal Investigations: Concepts and Protocols in Civil and Criminal Cases presents legal investigators with a step-by-step process that reveals how to methodically find and report evidence in every aspect of the investigative process.
