Today the science lab has gotten some stomach contents to make a
variety of tests to see what the victim may have ate before he/she died.

Conclusion: After conducting a series of test to identify what the victim

may have eaten before he/she got killed has lipids,protein,and starch in it.
This will give the detectives clues on what the last meal of the victim was.
