Abstract COVID-19 is the most devastating pandemic situation we have experienced in our age, affecting all systems. Although it affects all systems, it shows its most important effect through thrombophilia. Therefore, the possible cause of sudden death due to COVID-19 may be embolism caused by thrombophilia. D-dimer amounts increase due to COVID-19. The thrombosis is associated with sudden death in COVID-19 disease in populations. Since individuals with thrombophilia will be more prone to death due to COVID-19, it may be appropriate to administer low doses of Clexane (Enoxaparin sodium) or low-weight heparin for prophylactic purposes in order to consider these individuals at high risk and to prevent deaths. Moreover, in order not to risk the lives of healthcare professionals with thrombophilia, it would be appropriate to keep them away from individuals with COVID-19 disease and to employ them in different healthcare services according to their fields of expertise. It should also not be forgotten that different symptoms related to COVID-19 appear day by day, these different symptoms probably show that the virus has undergone mutations in order to survive, but no matter what, its effect on thrombophilia has not been eliminated yet. This compilation aims to present the reasons and causes of death due to COVID-19, possible treatment options, and thrombophilia panel tests and new parameters that may have a place in the meticulous interpretation of these tests and possible etiopathology in the light of current information. Therefore, presenting this information in a rational manner and keeping the parameters of the thrombophilia panel under strict control predict that the deaths due to the virus will be partially reduced.

Congenital anomalies originating it the coronary arteries are of special interest for forensic specialists. The presented case is a man found dead on the Coast of Marmara Sea. The death was considered to be suspicious and an autopsy was performed. On the macroscopic autopsy, the ostium of the right coronary artery was hole-like, located in a normal position, but the ostium of the left coronary artery was pocket-shaped and located in the left wall of the ascending aorta and above the rim of the sinotubular junction. We describe an asymptomatic, but didactic case with ectopic high origin of the left coronary artery.

Asthma is a common chronic disorder affecting roughly 3% of the population of the United States and producing considerable morbidity.1 However, despite increasing knowledge concerning the pathophysiology of this disease and an expanded therapeutic armamentarium, mortality rates from asthma have increased, particularly in younger patients.2 Although some of the increase can be accounted for by under-treatment, inadequate access to care, and delays in appropriate management,3 a number of episodes of unexpected sudden death have occurred in young patients with asthma without adequate explanation.4 Recent literature provides evidence that severe episodes of vasovagally (autonomic) mediated hypotension and bradycardia (the malignant vasovagal syndrome) may mimic or cause sudden death episodes in young people.5
