Anecdotal reports of deceased celebrities being found nude abound, yet research is lacking regarding the frequency of nudity at death. Moreover, it is unknown if nudity at the time of death is a useful investigative clue or a distracting non-factor in equivocal death cases. This study used data from 119,145 homicides and suicides reported to the Centers for Disease Control to explore victim nudity, prior life stressors, and demographics on the likelihood of a death being a homicide or a suicide. Logistic regression results indicate that a female victim being found nude is a strong indicator of homicide.

凶杀或自杀：如何将裸体因素纳入此判断

关于死者名人的轶事报道无处不在，但关于死者裸露的频率尚缺乏研究。而且，在模棱两可的死亡案件中，死亡时的裸体是否是有用的调查线索还是分散注意力的非因素，这一点尚不清楚。这项研究使用了向疾病控制中心报告的119,145件凶杀和自杀数据，以探讨受害者的裸体，生活压力源和人口统计资料，以了解死亡是凶杀或自杀的可能性。Logistic回归结果表明，被发现裸体的女性受害者是凶杀的有力指标。
