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!

You’d be AMAZED at how much research is done on cadavers. Basically anything, and I mean anything, you do to a cadaver is tracable. They even take bodies and burn them in a million different ways just to do research on how to detect how a body was burned.

They can probably tell a stab wound was made after death just based on that research alone.
