L.A. County Employs Dental Records and DNA for Fire Victim Identification

Credited from: LATIMES

  • Investigators from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner are working to recover remains of at least five fire victims in Altadena and Malibu.
  • Identification of the victims may take from days to weeks, relying on dental records and DNA analysis.
  • Many victims are unrecognizable due to severe burns, making traditional identifiers like fingerprints and facial features unavailable.
  • The process includes autopsies to determine the cause of death and search for identifiable features.
  • If dental records can't be used, DNA samples will be collected from the body for comparison with relatives' DNA.
