Depending on the injury type, severity, and location, persons who are victims of severe trauma may not be visually identifiable. This is a victim of a motor vehicle collision. Ultimately, if a reliable visual or scientific method of identification cannot be made, then other features may be useful in making a positive identification. For example, the location and appearance of various birthmarks, scars, implanted medical devices, or tattoos can provide sufficient information to be considered unique to a given individual.
