Forensic researchers working at the gruesome Forensic Anthropology Research Facility (FARF) in San Marcos, Texas have witnessed a grisly first: deer consuming human remains. The near-skeletal remains were left outside intentionally for scavenger animals to eat so that researchers could study and identify the bite marks left by different animals in case such data were ever needed to solve a crime. And thus, we reach the reason why I'm not a forensic pathologist. Yuck. The Forensic Anthropology Research Facility is a 26-acre facility operated by Texas State University and which lets human bodies rot in the great outdoors in order to study human decomposition and practice outdoor forensic research methods. The scientists who witnessed the deer eating people were part of a study which left a series of bodies to decompose in 2014 so that any interactions between the rotting remains and animals could be studied. While vultures, raccoons, and foxes are all known to scavenge any dead meat
