Forensics may use a method involving skin removal to obtain fingerprints from an undiscovered dead body showing skin-slip.

The claim that forensics can cut the skin around the wrist to slip off the skin and use it to obtain fingerprints lacks direct supporting evidence. The web evidence does not mention this specific method being used by forensic scientists. Therefore, this claim is likely speculative or an exaggeration of actual forensic techniques. The second claim about skin-slip occurring as a natural part of the decomposition process is well-documented and supported by evidence from medical and forensic sources.
