ELECTROCUTION
Cause of death :-
➢ Head injury
➢ Organ damage
➢ Electrocution
Mode :-
✓ Cardiac arrhythmias ( vent.
Fibrillation &cardiac arrest)
✓ Respiratory arrest due to spastic
paralysis of respiratory muscles
✓ Affection of brainstem causing
either cardiac arrest or
respiratory paralysis (rare, if
current enters through the head)
✓ Non- electrical trauma (example: fall from
height
• Complications & cause of death in head injury

1Smothering
def
Mechanical anoxia due to occlusion of the external respiratory openings (mouth and nose) by the hand or soft fabric.
def
A type of mechanical asphyxia due to external force to the neck by the hand .
Reflex cardiac arrest due to pressure on baroreceptors in the carotid sinuses, carotid sheaths and the carotid body.
) 3Ligature Strangulation
Def
A type of mechanical asphyxia caused by external pressure on the neck by a ligature which is tied forcibly.
4 hanging
Def
It is a type of mechanical asphyxia due to suspension of the body by a ligature & the force applied to the neck is derived
from the gravitational drag of the weight of the body or part of the body
