Post-mortem examination was carried out on a 2-week old male Friesian crossbred calf to determine the cause of death. The body condition of the calf was fair with pale mucous membranes. There was petechial to ecchymotic epicardial haemorrhages with mild hydroperitoneum and hepatomegaly. The enlarged rumen contained a large amount of white offensive rancid-smelling curdled milk mixed with watery content while the abomasum contained some sand sediment. A diagnosis of acute ruminal drinking was made based on the calf's age, reportedly feeding entirely on milk ration, and the presence of a large amount of curdled milk in the rumen. Early diagnosis and the treatment of underlying pathological conditions, correction of predisposing management practices, and rumenostomy are some of the ante-mortem ways to combat and improve the prognosis of the condition in affected calves.

Age Related Changes

Forensic age estimation is a crucial aspect of the biological profile of unidentified cadavers. The utility of age-related changes of hyoid bone fusion in forensic age estimation has not been explored much in the past. These age-related changes can be visualised in both the living and the dead using conventional radiography. These changes can assist medico-legal professionals and forensic anthropologists in the identification of unknown deceased, especially when the cadaver is mutilated or charred or when the other well-established indicators of skeletal and dental maturity are absent. The aims of this study were to evaluate age-related changes in the hyoid bone and to ascertain whether these changes may be utilised for age estimation in forensic examinations. The hyoid bone was carefully dissected using a standard procedure from 75 cadavers during post-mortem examination. The hyoid bone was radiographed, and the bone was replaced in the body cavity before the post-mortem examination was completed. Hyoid bone fusion was studied by using a standard grading method. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was calculated between the fusion scores and chronological age to assess their relationship. Box and whisker plots of fusion stage-wise age distribution were constructed to demonstrate the gradual linear relationship between hyoid bone fusion and the chronological age of the study participants. The present study concludes that hyoid bone fusion is an indicator of the chronological age of an individual and can be used in conjunction with other methods of age estimation such as the skeletal and dental age.

Fatal Injuries

Homicide represents one of the leading causes of death, and the head is the target in the majority of cases. The objective of the present study was to analyze the pattern of head injury among homicidal death victims. Information was obtained by interviewing the accompanying persons, post-mortem examination and perusal of hospital records. Most of the victims were predominantly male and belonged in the age group 21-30 years. Blunt weapons caused the majority of the injuries. Defence wounds were present in 48% of the victims. The street was the place of crime in the majority of cases (46.7%) and in most of the cases there was more than one offender. Multiple assaults were seen on the body in 70% of cases. The skull was fractured in more than 80% of victims and intracranial haemorrhages were seen in 47 victims. Out of 77 cases, 55 victims showed intracranial lesions along with injuries to the skull and scalp. Associated fatal injuries were most commonly present on the neck and chest. The majority of the victims died instantly or within 24 hours. Blunt force is commonly used when the head is the target. Defence wounds, when present, are indicative of the homicidal nature of the attack, and multiple strokes present over the body indicate determination on the part of the accused to end the life of the victim.

Abstract A 55-year-old male was found dead in the church of Kefa Zone, Southern Nation and Nationality People Region, the local area of Ethiopia about 500 km away from the only available national forensic centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He had no medical history of comorbidity or medicine prescribed previously as well as no contact history with COVID-19 cases. Also, no travel history to Addis Ababa, which has an epicenter of COVID- 19 high burden cases, and no living individuals reported cases of COVID-19 patients in local residence of the deceased. The National COVID-19 emergency operating team already decided to do postmortem surveillance and collect nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 on all the dead bodies submitted to the mortuary for postmortem examination. For this case and other cases on that day postmortem nasopharyngeal swabs collected and sent for RT-PCR COVID19. Test confirmed COVID-19 positive for this deceased one day after the body handed over to family and transported back to residence of the deceased. The external post-mortem examination revealed an emaciated middle-age adult male with rigor mortis on lower extremity and non- blanching livor mortis on the back of the body. There was no evidence of recent injury. On internal examination pleural adhesions were present on anterior and posterior aspect of left lung. The left lung extensively necrotized, collapsed and weighs about 280grams. Right lung was dark red in color, consolidated, weighs 450 grams, patchy petechial hemorrhages on the pleural surface. No viscera preserved for microbiology, virology, histopathology, or immunohistochemistry tests as these facilities are not available in our set up. With the pandemic impact of SARS-COV-2, a range of issues unfolds, also during autopsies, as we report the first Ethiopian case of fatal SARS-COV-2 pneumonia confirmed on post-mortem examination.
