Forensic pathology studies of sudden death caused by pulmonary embolism

Abstract

Abstract: The analytic result of 50 sudden death cases caused by pulmonary embolism showed that their main causes were trauma (42%), heart diseases (32%), surgical operation (20%) and so on. In majority of these cases (80%), thrombus embolus came from deep veins of lower limbs, in some cases (20%) came from cardiac cavity. These cases occurred most frequently in the period of October to December and rarely in the period of April to June. Finally, some problems in forensic examination in this sort of sudden death were discussed in this article.

Key words: thrombus embolus, pulmonary embolism, sudden death
