- Abstract
The forensic autopsy in accidental violent deaths has a determining role in establishing the cause of death. We are presenting the case of a 77 year-old female found dead at her house under suspicious conditions. The purpose of this article is to underline the importance of the pathological background of the victim in the thanatogenerating mechanism. On performing the necropsy examination, it was established that the death intervened in the context of an abdominal trauma by animal hoof kicking. The advanced atheromatosis was a competing factor in the producing of post traumatic lesions (rupture of left internal iliac artery). Therefore, the biological particularities of the victim influenced the internal response of the lesions and determined their unfavourable evolution.
