ARTICULO CIENTIFICO
logical autopsy I.P.A.I” was introduced by Dr. Teresita García Pérez as an ins-
trument of retrospective and indirect exploration that’s applied to dead people,
using an inferential method, that turns reliable for studying their personality,
conflicts and life’s dynamic. This method grants operators of justice a valua-
ble information to clear the cause of death. The mentioned study is a techni-
cal-scientific tool, obtained by: interviewing people who knew the victim, either
personally or profesionally and analysing documents related to the victim. Its
use is recommended in cases of crimes against life, in which the cause of death
is doubtful, such as accidents, suicides or homicides. The I.P.A.I is currently
used in the United States, México, Argentina, Cuba and other countries, as a
reliable method that allows technical operators investigate victim’s life.

Todos somos conscientes de que las leyes que regulan el comportamien-
to de los seres humanos en la vida social evolucionan, pero no siempre al mismo
ritmo que evolucionamos las personas. En este sentido, cabe destacar que dentro
de la administración de justicia, no siempre la dinámica del cambio con relación
a los paradigmas y procedimientos, responden de manera pertinente y condu-
cente a los desafíos que genera la realidad del comportamiento humano dentro
de la sociedad en situaciones de conflicto con la ley, por lo que muchas veces se
encuentran casos de muertes dudosas como ser: homicidios, suicidios o acci-
dentes que quedan de manera inconclusa.
