1. A forensic pathologist would most likely perform a forensic autospy. Forensic pathologists focus on cause of death by examining a bod or corpse. They perform postmortem examinations. 

2. Insect activity will begin immediately if a body is left in the open. That is why insect activity can help investigations with determining certain things such as time of death, where the person died and the like. 

3. A light meal will digest in about 1-2 hours. Digestion rates can give useful information about when a person had died. Medium meals take about 3-4 hours to digest and heavier meals take about 6 hours. 

4. Indicative acts are actions or behaviors that may or may not have taken place before someone dies. Indicative is suggestive, so it may or may have happened. When you say indicative acts you are referring to what may have happened (or may not) based on certain circumstances, observations or evidence.
