Intoxications have great importance among forensic medicine studies. Deaths due to Carbon Monoxide intoxications (COI) are seen more frequently than those due to the use of toxic substances. In this study, along an 8-year period, 381 COI cases whose autopsies are made in the Morgue Department of the Council of Forensic Medicine-Istanbul and whose origins are not dependent to fire are investigated. Among the autopsies made in Istanbul, the proportion of the cases due to COI are 3 %. 76.6 % of the cases were men, and 65 % were in the age range 11-40.
