A Study to Identify the Manner of Death in Head Injury Using Classification Model
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Head injury is the leading cause of death found at medico legal autopsy. This may be due to various mechanisms and thereby the nature of death in fatal head injury assumes utmost importance in forensic practice. It is often expected and hence required that a forensic pathologist apart from ascertaining the cause of death should indicate the nature of death. This has to be done on a sound scientific and objective manner as far as possible. There is need for an autopsy proven method to broadly classify the wounds into homicidal blows, accidental trauma and fall from height. The present investigation is designed to explore a classification model for identifying the nature of death from head injury.
