Abstract

The report presents the results of identification of garments and other textile products, as well as various materials, e.g. fragments of metals, wood slivers and chemical substances found in the coffin by the body of General Władysław Sikorski. The articles of clothing revealed no damages that could have resulted from a thermal factor, such as fire, high temperature or explosion. Mechanical damages of fabric and knitted fabric resulted from annealing processes and biodegradation of the products. Metallic particles present near the body were fragments of the solder sealing the cover with the coffin. A wood sliver revealed in the left orbital cavity and some of the slivers found on the surface of the shirt originated from Douglas-fir, and other splinters most probably from cypress and elm tree. The presence of struvite, the product of binding of phosphates, ammonia and water resulting from decay of biological materials in the presence of magnesium compounds, was established on the surface of the shirt and the handkerchief.
