Frequency of artefacts occurrence in the dead bodies with burn injuries - an analytical study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Artefacts from medical intervention are frequently present in medico legal autopsies and must be distinguished from injuries of forensic interest, particularly in death from trauma. The present study was aimed at the different types of burns and the artifacts related to their production. A total one hundred cases are selected from both sexes, with different manners of death. Artefacts are the common finding seen in burns cases. About 198 artefacts are seen in 100 cases. This is due to presence of many artefacts in a dead body that were co-existing. Pugilistic attitude was another finding, which was mostly seen in spot death cases, but it developed in some cases, which died with 24 hours of infliction of burns.
