Background: Deaths occuring without a known disease and/or a known cause, deaths with non-lethal diseases are interpretated as sudden-unexpected-suspected deaths. Autopsy should always required to evaluate the cause of death. Some of the cases can be termed as negative autopsy since the cause of death can not be determined. This is one of the main interests of the future forensics. Molecular autopsies are one of the main practices of to reduce the negative autopsy ratios. Thus, post-mortem KCNQ1 genetic variation tests are done in sudden unexpected death cases. Material and methods: In this study 0 – 50 years old sudden-unexpected deaths autopsy cases were handled. Samples taken from cases were evaluated and “KCNQ1” genetic variation tests were done in our Department. Results: This study included 47 cases of 42 sudden unexpected death cases (0 – 50 age group) and 5 control group. 15 cases were between 40 – 50 age group and number of cases were increasing with age. 29 of cases (% 69) were male. Evaluation of body-mass index of cases were done and normal weighted cases were the most common with 21 cases (% 50). According to death locations; 17 cases had died (% 45,9) at home. Death location records of 5 cases couldn’t be found. Pathological examinations of all cases were done. We had identified fibrosis and fatty change appearances in SA node of 9 cases (% 21,4) and AV node of 13 cases (% 30,9) especially in conduction tissue examinations. As the result of KCNQ1 genetic analysis of cases, we identified sequence variations in 1638th nucleotid of exon 13 and 1986th nucleotid of exon 16. Conclusion: Cases with conduction system pathology and sequence variations of KCNQ1 genetic analysis shows that we are in need of these tests among routine practice to reduce negative autopsy ratios. Key words: KCNQ1, molecular autopsy, sudden unexpected death, conduction system, negative autopsy.

Suicide is one of the commonest causes of unnatural death in the world. The number of suicide is increasing over the period of time. Our research focused on a number of factors associated with the occurrence of suicide, these includes- age, gender, religion, cause of death, modes of death. A total of 95 cases of suicide were studied in Sir Salimullah Medical College morgue house in the year 2008. The victims were composed of 33 males (34%) & 62 females (66%) and the age group of 21-30 years was the most common, which indicates occurrence of suicide is more common in young females. Of 95 cases, the most common cause of death was due to asphyxia, 88 cases (92%). Other cases include respiratory failure- 3 cases (3%), hemorrhage & shock- 4 cases (5%). In the discrimination of cause of death, we obtained information on victims & witness as well as investigating the scene & post mortem examination of the victim.   DOI: 10.3329/bmj.v37i2.3593 Bangladesh Medical Journal 37(2) 2008 50-51

Background:  Due to high increase in the population, there is sharp increase in the accidental, homicidal, suicidal and natural deaths. Objective: To evaluate and audit the frequency of death patterns in the city of Faisalabad. Study Design: It is a cross sectional study.  Setting & Duration:  Study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Faisalabad Medical University (FMU) Faisalabad for a period of one year i.e. 1st January, 2017 to 31st December, 2017. Methodology:  The record of all unnatural deaths brought for medicolegal autopsies during the study period were examined in detail with special reference to the frequency of death patterns, manners & modalities of those cases. The data was entered in the predesigned performa & analysed by using SPSS.  Results: Study revealed that frequency of unnatural death in Faisalabad is similar to those conducted in other cities, but higher rates may be due to the fact that Faisalabad is thickly populated & third largest city of Pakistan. Out of total 255 cases of unnatural deaths reported for medico-legal autopsies in FMU Faisalabad (80.40 %) were male and (19.6%) females.     Accidental deaths occurred in (28.62%) cases, homicidal deaths involved (50.58%), suicide took the lives of (3.9%) cases and (2.7%) persons died of natural causes whereas manner of death remained undetermined in (14.11%) cases. Unnatural deaths were reported more frequently in the age group 20–29 years involving (24.70%) cases. Conclusion: Homicide is higher in this region and Firearm is the weapon of choice for assailants. This increasing death toll of homicide may be due to increase in frustration and intolerance in the society.

Abstract Background Methomyl is the most common cause of suicidal death but heroin is the most common cause of accidental death. The problem is to determine the exact cause and manner of death between methomyl or heroin toxicity. The evidence from autopsy includes crime scene investigation, toxicological analysis by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, and knowledge of methomyl and heroin intoxication. Case presentation A 35-year-old Thai man and a 30-year-old Thai woman were found showing evidence of cyanosis, with a fine froth around the nose and mouth. Postmortem interval time was 24 hours. According to the police’s and hotel owner’s records, the couple stayed together for 1 day before being found dead in bed, naked, with a foul and a fine froth around the nose and mouth. A methomyl insecticide sachet and a plastic box containing white powder form of heroin were found at the scene. Laboratory tests of the male corpse identified the presence of methomyl in the blood of the stomach and morphine, codeine, methadone, and tramadol in the systemic blood. Blood cholinesterase enzyme activity and morphine concentration was 3416 U/L or 53% (normal 6400 U/L) and 0.058 μg/ml respectively. Laboratory test of the female corpse identified the presence of methomyl in the stomach and blood, and cholinesterase enzyme activity was 1965 U/L or 30.7%. Conclusions Cause of death of the male corpse was deemed to be due to heroin intoxication as the blood concentration of morphine was more than the lethal concentration with a morphine/codeine ratio of more than 1:1. Methomyl intoxication of the male corpse was unlikely to be the cause of death because methomyl systemic blood concentration was found to be very low, < 2.5 μg/ml, and cholinesterase enzyme levels did not indicate lethal activity (< 10–15% of normal). The main problem regarding an insurance claim is that the policy will not pay out in the case of heroin-associated deaths, as it is an addictive drug. The policy would pay out on death by suicide with methomyl insecticide, which was not prohibited by the insurance company after 1 year of insurance. So, it is not clear whether or not the family will receive money from the insurance company.

Background and objectives: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) plays a central role in reducing this mortality. Currently the data on mortality in CCU is very limited in our country. Our purpose of this study to provide data on mortality so that we can focus and improve the factors determining deaths in CCU. Methodology: The data of all death cases admitted in the CCU of a tertiary level hospital between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2017 were included for assessing the data on demography, diagnosis, and comorbidities at the time of death.Results: Among 802 cases admitted in CCU in two years, 40 patients died (5%). Male was 55% and female was 45%. Most of the death occurred in their 6th decade of life, due to Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and sepsis, within 24-hour of CCU admission.Common associated co-morbidities were DM (75%), hypertension (42.5%), CKD (27.5%), and hypokalemia (12.5%).Conclusions: The death rate is much lower in our CCU in comparison to global rate. The common cause of death is still NSTEMI. The common co-morbidities we found are DM, hypertension and CKD. Most of the deathsoccurred within 24-hour of admission.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2018; 33(1) : 28-31
