how does someone, e.g. a detective distinguish if a stab wound is made before or after death?

Don’t worry this isn’t anything alarming. I’m in the process of writing a whodunit and I just want to know if there are any signs that occur/do not occur in a stab wound that is made after death? Any answers would be a great deal of help. Thanks!

In forensic pathology, the term used is **vital response**, and refers to the visual and biochemical markers that distinguish pre- and post-mortem wounds.
