The total number of injuries (TNI) is a simple way to quantify injuries during a forensic autopsy.
The TNI is the total number of injuries resulting from separate trauma.
Types of trauma: blunt, sharp, gunshot
Variations:
(1) sub-tally for each body region
(2) major vs minor injuries, or lethal vs nonlethal
The maximum number of injuries reported by Ericsson and Thiblin was 101.
A large TNI may indicate overkill or torture.
