title = "Mobile autopsy teams in the investigation of war crimes in Kosovo 1999",
abstract = "On request of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the Danish-Swedish forensic teams worked in Kosovo during the summer and the fall of 1999. The teams worked mainly as {"}mobile teams{"} at sites with few graves. Only two larger sites were examined. Most of the bodies were buried separately. A few {"}multiple burial{"} graves were examined, but no mass graves were encountered. The main purpose of the autopsies was to establish the cause and manner of death. Identification was of less importance, but a majority of the bodies had been identified prior to the autopsy. A total of 308 bodies, mainly males, were examined. The age varied greatly with a mean age of 47 years. The most common cause of death was gun shot wounds and the most common manner of death was homicide.",
