Abstract

 

Drowning is a type of violent asphyxial death. Deaths due to drowning are usually suicidal and accidental in manner, but homicidal drowning is not uncommon. But it is very difficult for autopsy surgeon to give cause of death when deceased found dead in water with ligature
mark on the neck and other injuries on the body. A dead body of an unknown male, aged around 35–40 years was brought to mortuary of BLDE hospital Vijaypur for medico-legal post mortem examination with alleged history of accidental drowning. The case was registered u/s 174(C) CrPc. Post mortem examination revealed cause of death as head injury sustained by blunt trauma. The ligature mark present on the neck was opined as postmortem in nature. The viscera preserved revealed alcohol. Manner of death was opined as homicidal in nature.
