You Are a Forensic Investigator at a Crime Scene When

Essay

You are a forensic investigator at a crime scene when you enter a small poorly ventilated room, in which you find a badly decomposing body. The stench is overwhelming as you complete your part of the investigation. After you leave the room, you can still smell the rotting body and continue to do so, even over the next several days and although the stench does wane a little, you could swear that you can taste it. What do you suppose is the reason for continuing to smell and even taste the odor, despite having left the scene?
