Title: An Analytical Study of Causes of Death in Fall from Height Cases from Gandhi Medical College & Hospital Mortuary, Hyderabad from 2006 to 2008 year
Abstract: Falling of people from height is not uncommon. But fatal falls are rare to occur. Incidences of falls resulting in death can be accidental, suicidal or homicidal. Many times people fall with minor injuries. When bodies are brought for autopsy it is sometimes unclear whether the injuries are due to a fall from a height or due to blunt trauma from other causes, especially when the bodies are found near buildings with no eyewitnesses available. The aim was to assess the pattern of injuries and identify features helpful in discriminating between these and injuries due to blunt trauma from other causes.
