Abstract: Unnatural deaths are not caused by diseases but by others such as accidents, killings, and suicide. The death of someone which is suspected unnaturally, needs to be found out with certainty about the cause of death through an autopsy by a forensic doctor. This study was aimed to obtain the causes of unnatural death cases autopsied at RS Bhayangkara tingkat III Manado and Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado in 2017-2018. This was a retrospective and descriptive study using Visum et Repertum data. The results showed 77 cases of unnatural deaths. As many as 45 cases were autopsied in 2017 and 32 cases in 2018. Most victims were male (68 cases), aged 17-25 years (late adolescence; 18 cases). The most common cause of death was sharp violence (45 cases). In conclusion, most autopsy cases of unnatural deaths were performed on males, aged 17-25 years (late adolescence), and sharp violence as the cause of death.Keywords: unnatural death, cause of death, autopsy Abstrak: Kematian tidak wajar adalah kematian yang tidak disebabkan oleh penyakit, seperti kecelakaan, pembunuhan dan bunuh diri.

Background: Globally, nearly 5 million persons die every year from tobacco-related illnesses, with disproporti-onately higher mortality occurring in developing countries. Tobacco is used in a multitude of ways in India. By 2020 India would have the highest rate of rise in tobacco related deaths compared to all other countries. Tobacco use in India is increasing but there are considerable changes in the types and methods by which it is used. According to WHO estimates, 194 million men and 45 million women use tobacco in smoked or smokeless form in India. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in developed countries and is the second leading cause of death globally. The study was carried out to assess the practice of tobacco use among adults in urban slum. It tries to ascertain the prevalence of tobacco use in the community, identify the various forms of tobacco used. It is a questionnaire based cross sectional descriptive study. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study using a close-ended, pre tested structured interview schedule was prepared and the investigator conducted the interviews personally at the respondent’s house who were above 18 years of age. Results: The prevalence of tobacco use in any form was found to be 38.78%, the most common age group being 30-44 yrs. Also seeing that initiation of tobacco use took place in the age group 20-29 yrs it highlights the need of starting anti-tobacco campaigns for a younger age group but not leaving out older age groups at the same time. Sex-wise distribution of tobacco use was observed to be 40.23% in males as compared to 36.17% in females. Conclusions: Control of this deadly epidemic requires a decisive, target oriented and a well motivated approach.
