Exhumation is the act of removing a corpse from its grave. Historically, this has been done for a variety of reasons, including legal investigation, medical examination, and religious rituals. In recent years, exhumation has become increasingly common as a way to recover the remains of victims of war or genocide.
Exhumation can be a complex and time-consuming process. It requires the careful removal of the soil and any other materials that have been placed on top of the grave. In some cases, it may also require the use of heavy machinery. Once the corpse has been exhumed, it can be examined by medical experts to determine the cause of death. In some cases, DNA testing may also be performed to identify the remains.
