Deadly Robbery - A Case Report
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Here we report about a male corpse aged 32 years, which was actually brought to the mortuary as death due to accidental traumatic asphyxia. Asphyxia was the definitive mode of death in this case, but trauma was not the cause for the asphyxia instead, by the presence of electrical injury. The different types of lesions were caused due to struggle to get down together with the electrocution. Of all the lesions diagnosed at post mortem examination, one needs a special mention, the subarachnoid hemorrhage, which resulted due to electrocution. Based on postmortem finding, the time since death was given as 12 -24 hours prior to the post mortem examination and the Cause of death was given as "ELECTROCUTION".
