dc.description.abstractViolent deaths represent a high percentage among postmortem investigations. The percentage increases, if the cases of acute alcohol intoxications and cases of homicide precipitated by excessive intake of alcohol are included. Although alcohol creates a comfortable atmosphere in human relationships, it is a well known fact that alcohol initiates (causes) circumstances under which individuals kill each other in a brutal and merciless manner, as well. In the present study, cases of medicolegal autopsy performed at Morgue department of The Council of Forensic Medicine, covering a two year-period and presenting with increased blood alcohol concentration, are included. Age, sex, origin, causes of deaths and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) were studied. Of 456 cases studied, 92.8 % were males and 74.5 % represented an age group ranging from 20 to 50 years. The majority of the cases (32 %) were represented in the age group 30-40 years. In the cases studied, the mean BAC was estimated to be 212.7 mg. %. Violent deaths were the most frequent ones (81.6 %), with accidents and homicides occupying the first two ranks. In contrast to other studies reported, hanging was found to be most frequent method of suicide. Among natural deaths, diseases of the cardiovascular system occupied the first place.en_US
