Abstract Deaths by drowning are difficult to determine and often are diagnosed by eliminating all other potential manners of death. However, the diatom test stands as a direct screening test for death by drowning. The field of forensic limnology has stagnated in the literature, at least in terms of the emergence of new and more accurate collection, testing, and confirmation modalities. In this article a review of past and contemporary science and applications of the diatom test is put forward in an attempt to renew interest in this important test. An outline for future research in this area will be forthcoming.
