I require further details on a refuted forensic science in relation to
child death. Apparently a scientific experiment to discover if a death
was natural or unnatural was to put a piece of lung in water it would
float or sink indecating natural or un-natural death. This science is
un-founded.

Dear shel2-ga,
I am finding information which indicates that this test was used to
ascertain if a child was stillborn or had breathed after birth. Is
this what you are referring to? As yet, I can find nothing to say it
was a test for natural/unnatural death.
Please let me know your requirements.

Dear shel2-ga,
I have concluded my research and can confirm that it was a test to
examine whether an infant was stillborn, or breathed and then died. It
is not a test to ascertain if the death was natural or unnatural. I
have four pages of research to post if this answers your question.

I am seeking a scientific test that has been refuted. The only
information I have regarding the test that I am seeking,is that it
relates to the floating or sinking of a piece of babys lung in a post
mortem, I am unclear on what the results of floating or sinking
indecate, only that the science is unfounded. To date information
posted regarding still born babies V babies breathing then death,
appears to be the information that I am looking for.
