Claim One:
1. A method of measuring an effluent plume of peri-mortem and post mortem molecules released from a Men casualty, the measuring method comprising the steps of: directing a hand-held laser Raman backscattering device towards a subject of a suspected low energy physiology state of lesser fluctuations to effect a distant laser backscattering from said subject; detecting a measurable presence or absence of one or more molecular peri-mortem feature based on said distant laser backscattering from said subject; detecting a measurable presence or absence of one or more post-mortem feature based on said distant laser backscattering from said subject; processing the detected measurements of peri-mortem and/or post-mortem features based on a set of rules to derive information for reliable determination of a death state by taking into account at least one of life/death phase transitioning and hysteresis phenomena; and presenting said information using a man-machine interface for determination of the death state based on said processed measurements of peri-mortem and/or post-mortem features.
