Abstract
Factually, “brought dead” (also known as dead on arrival) means those deaths occurred before reaching at emergency. In those scenarios, doctor can’t issue death certificate without knowing actual cause of death. That is the reason for which autopsy is necessary & compulsory for establishment of definite cause of death. In the present study 840 brought dead cases were studied in different parameters at Malda Medical College & Hospital, West Bengal from January 2016 to December 2012 (one year study). In present study, it was found that majority of victims who were brought dead were males, died in unnatural manner, most commonly in road traffic accident, followed by hanging
