초록
Drowning is a leading cause of accidental deaths worldwide, but its pathologicaldiagnosis remains a challenge for forensic pathologists owing to a lack of pathognomonicfindings in drowning deaths and inconclusive autopsy findings caused by postmortemchanges. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pathway takenby inhaled drowning medium through the airway after death in a variety of experimentalconditions, including underwater pressurization. We used methylene blue dye tomonitor the spread of drowning medium to the lungs. Results of theses experimentsdemonstrated that it is possible for a significant amount of downing medium to enterthe airway during immersion after death. Our results suggest that autopsies ofimmersed bodies and interpretation of these findings should be performed with specialcare.
