The Science Museum is hosting CSI: The Experience (now through 1/4/09),

Pigs are a lot like people in some ways. With similar organs, muscles and bones, all beneath mostly hairless skin, pigs make reasonable substitutes for human bodies. They have been used as military and medical test subjects for generations, and now ...they are playing an important part in the scientific study of what happens to us after we die.

Knowing when a pig died, scientists will gather data on the stages of its decay. Criminal investigators can then use this information to reveal a time and place of death when they find a human body in similar condition.

See http://www.smm.org/buzz/topics/forensic-entomology for more about the pig, forensic entomology, and the exhibit.
