- antemortem data
- Medical records, samples, and photographs taken prior to death. These
include (but are not limited to) fingerprints, dental x-rays, body tissue samples,
photographs of tattoos, or other identifying marks. These “pre-death” records would be
compared against records completed after death to help establish a positive identification of human remains. See also mortuary affairs. (JP 4-06)
