FORENSIC MEDICINE & TOXICOLOGY Dr. Bala M.B;B.S., M.D Professor & HOD Dept of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology

True about Photographic superimposition Frontal view photograph is mandatory Interpupillary distance should be corresponds. Test has got more positive value Comparison can not be made in the absence of lower jaw

B

Superimposition Applied by glaister and brash in 1935 in Ruxton case. A technique applied to determine whether the skull is that of the person in the photograph. Criteria: Photograph - front, lateral and semi lateral view of face Recent photograph is better Comparison can be made even in the absence of lower jaw.

Two pairs of canthuses Nasion Prosthion in the central line Nasal spine Lower border of the nose Lower border of the upper jaw Zygomas bellow the eyes Supra orbital ridges Angle of the jaw External auditory meatus Teeth. Points for comparison:

This test is of more negative value . It can definitely be stated that the skull and photograph are not those of the same person. If they tally it can only be stated that the skull could be that of the person in the photograph, because of the possibility that another skull of that size and contour may tally with the photograph.) Significance

As per Haderup System +2 indicates Upper right canine Upper left 2 nd lateral incisor Lower left canine Upper right 2 nd lateral incisor

B. Upper left 2 nd lateral incisor

CHARTING OF TEETH More than 150 different methods (1) Universal system: 1 to 16 from upper right to upper left, 17 to 32 from lower left to right. Upper Right  Left 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 Lower

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WOUNDS OF ENTRANCE AND EXIT OF A BULLET WOUND Entrance wound Size – smaller than the size of the bullet. Edges – inverted. Bruising, abrasion and grease collar – present. Burning, blackening, tattooing – may be seen. Exit wound larger than the bullet. Everted. Absent. Absent.

Entrance wound Bleeding – less. Fat – no protrusion. Fibers of clothing – may be carried into the wound. Lead ring or metal ring – may be seen. Exit wound More. May protrude. Turned out. Absent.

FORENSIC BALLISTICS Is the science that deals with the fire arms and the injuries caused by it. Ballistics: study of the missiles.

Internal ballistics. Study of the fire arms and projectiles Exterior ballistics. Study of the motion of the projectile after it leaves the barrel till the time it hits the target Terminal ballistics Study of behavior of missiles once they penetrate their targets wound ballistics Study of effects of missiles on living tissue

Rifling gives the bullet except a spin, greater power of penetration, a straight course and prevents it from unsteady movement as it travels in the air. Lessens the spreading action None

D. Lessens the spreading action

RIFLED FIRE ARMS A rifle is a gun with a long barrel, the bore of which is rifled. The bore is scored internally with a number of shallow spiral grooves varying from two to more than 20. Rifling gives the bullet a spin, greater power of penetration, a straight course and prevents it from unsteady movement as it travels in the air.

PROJECTILE SPIN DURING FLIGHT

CALLIBRE OR GAUGE It is measured by the internal dimension of the barrel and is given in decimals of inch or millimeters. The dimension of the rifled weapon is measured between lands and not grooves. For larger bores the size is determined by the size of the lead ball which will exactly fit the barrel. By the number of such ball of equal size and weight as can be made from 1 pound of lead.

DETAILS OF GUN RIFLING

CALIBER

SHOT GUN It may be single barreled or double barreled. Barrel length varies from 55 to 72 cm’s and the inside of the cylinder is smooth with out any groves.

CHOKING Choking is the tapering lumen of the muzzle end .

VARIOUS DEGREES OF CHOKE Designation Constriction in mm 1. Full- choke 1.00mm 2. Three- quarter choke 0.75mm 3. Half-choke 0.50mm 4. Quarter-choke 0.25mm 5. True cylinder 0mm

ADVANTAGES OF CHOKING Choking lessens the rate of spread of shot after it leaves the muzzle. Increases the explosive force and increases the velocity.

SHOTGUN and RIFLED CARTRIDGE

PRIMING MIXTURE contains except ? Barium nitrate. Lead peroxide. Mercurous chloride. Lead styphnate. None

C. Mercurous chloride.

PRIMING MIXTURE Priming mixture contains. Barium nitrate. Lead peroxide. Antimony sulfide Lead styphnate. Tetrazene.

PRIMING MIXTURE Priming mixture contains. B arium nitrate. L ead peroxide. A ntimony sulfide Lead S typhnate. T etrazene.

GUN POWDER Black powder :- Potassium nitrate 75% Charcoal 15% Sulphur 10%. Smokeless powders:- Nitrocellulose. ( singlebase ) Nitrocellulose and Nitroglycerine. ( doublebase ) Nitrocellulose, Nitroglycerine and Nitro guanidine. ( triplebase ) Semi-smokeless:- Mixture of 80% of black & 20% of smokeless.

Heat combustion effect: Burning : seen on non synthetic natural fibres Singeing of the hair Due to flame Seen on cloths and skin

Smudging/Blackening: Due to smoke Tattooing/peppering: Due to gunpowder

Abrasion collar: Gyroscopic movement of the bullet Elasticity of the skin Seen as a marginal abrasion around the wound of entry In Perpendicular entry – round shape. In acute angular entry – oblique/oval shape. Grease collar: Grease and dirt particles on bullet Seen as a black deposit.

This type of wound is produced by shot gun cartridge from the distance of Up to 30 cm 30 Cm to one meter Over 2 meters Over 3 meters

B. 30 Cm to one meter

BALLING OR WELDING OF SHOT It is done by adding some adhesive in the shots during the manufacture of the shot gun cartridge. It is done to prevent the dispersion of the pellets. In such cases a circular or oval entrance wound is found in long range fire.

SATELLITE PELLET When the entire shot enters into the body as a single shot making a single entrance hole and a single pellet entering separately is called as satellite pellet.

CONTACT SHOT The discharge from the muzzle i.e. gases, flame, powder, smoke and metallic particles are blown into the track taken by the bullet through the body. The powder residue is usually grossly visible in the subcutaneous tissue and the bullet track.

The margins are contused and everted due to the gasses coming out of the wound. Back spatter is seen. Corona consists of a circular zone of soot deposit surrounding the bullet defect. BACK SPATTER ?

PUPPE’S RULE It can determine the sequence of shots when several bullets have struck the cranium. This rule can be applied to any blunt force injury causing skull fractures.

BULLET INJURY IN SKULL In the entrance hole the inner table gets beveled. In the exit hole the outer table gets beveled. Fissure fractures often radiates from the defects. The exit hole wound is larger due to the deformity and tumbling of the bullet after entering the hole.

KRONLEIN SHOT if the fracture extends beyond the area of the entrance and exit and the cavitation is very severe the skull may burst by the pressure of the brain. A large portion of the brain thrown out of the bursting skull and found relatively intact.

PECULIAR EFFECTS OF FIREARM 1.Yawning bullet A bullet travelling in a irregular fashion instead of travelling nose-on is called ?

2.Tumbling bullet Bullet that rotates end on end during the motion is called tumbling bullet.

Appearance of Injury by tumbling bullet?

3.Tandem bullet On first firing, the bullet remains in the barrel and during subsequent firing two bullets one behind the other are projected out and they may hit the body from same or different wounds.

4.Ricochet bullet Ricocheting occurs with the inferior fire arms. The bullet before striking the target strikes some intervening object first and then after ricocheting and rebounding from these hits the object.

External ricocheting Internal ricocheting This is seen when the bullet hits the cranial cavity.

5.Mushrooming of bullet A soft nose bullet on hitting the target may get deformed to assume this shape . Because of increased surface area the damage will be more.

6.Souvenir bullet Refers to the bullet which has been lying in body part since long .

7.Bullet grage or slap If a bullet strikes skin at so acute angle that it does not perforate the skin an abrasion is produced

8.Single entrance and multiple exits If the bullet splits up within the body and divides itself into 3 or 4 pieces .

12.Kennedy phenomenon: Surgical alteration of the bullet injury makes difficult to the evaluation of the wound whether it was an entrance or an exit wound.

Skin slippage, reddish color – 12 hours Robert’s sign Bullae – 24 hours Disagreable sweetish odour – 48 hours Deuel’s halo sign – 3days Spalding sign Ball’s sign

Extra points: Viability: Stage of maturity at which a fetus is able to lead a separate existence after birth. As per law, a child is viable in 210 days (7 months) Vagitus uterinus : Respiration (cry) of the fetus while in the womb after the rupture of membranes. Vagitus vaginalis: Respiration while the head is in the vagina.

1.A new-born baby didn’t show any sign of life for 5 minutes after delivery. Doctor declared the baby dead and handed over the body to the parents in a bag. After 10 minutes leaving the hospital on their way, there was some movements in the bag. Parents rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors couldn’t revive the baby. Which of the following is incorrect related to this condition? A. It is the most common cause of apparent death. B. During this state, the individual cells utilize the dissolved oxygen in body fluids and remain viable. C. Doctor can be punished for issuance of false medical certificate under IPC 197. D. It can not be produced voluntarily

Ans : D

SUSPENDED ANIMATION Called as apparent death. ( The person appears to be dead but he is not actually dead ) The signs of life are reduced to very minimum that it cannot be detected by routine clinical methods. It can be produced Voluntarily & involuntarily During this state, the individual cells utilize the dissolved oxygen in body fluids and remain viable.

A,B,C,D,E MY HITS

Medicolegal Importance: Suspended animation should not be mistaken for death. If death is declared and certified in this case prematurely the doctor can be punishable for issuance of false medical certificate under IPC 197 .[234 BNS] S.198 IPC [235 BNS] – using false medical certificate Death certificate should not be issued without an ECG or EEG.

2. Which type of incision is given over the back for the postmortem examination ? Y shaped Modified Y shaped T shaped X shaped

Ans : D

TYPES OF SKIN INCISIONS I shape – most commonly used ( chin to symphysis pubis) T shape – called as Bucket handle incision Y shape – is Inframammary incision ( Acromion to Xiphisternum and then to pubis ) Modified Y shape – for better visualisation of neck injuries , in Hanging & Strangulation cases Inverted Y shape – in fetus or newborn to examine the umbilical arteries All above incisions are used for visualising anterior part of the body X shape – in custodial deaths it is made at back. (One acromion to other side of gluteal region ). To demonstrate the deep bruises in custodial death cases. used for visualising posterior part of the body .

TYPES OF SKIN INCISIONS

I SHAPE Y SHAPE MODIFIED Y SHAPE T SHAPE

CUSTODIAL DEATHS X- SHAPE INCISION

METHODS OF ORGAN REMOVAL : VIRCHOW’S TECHNIQUE Individual organs removed one by one Anatomical relations are not preserved Inter relationships not preserved, loss of continuity LETTULE’S TECHNIQUE Various system organs are removed as en-masse (all together) cervical, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic organs and organ dissection. Anatomical relations are preserved Rapid technique. Difficult to handle individual organ.

GHON’S TECHNIQUE Organ blocks and organ dissection Cervical, thoracic, abdominal and urogenital system are removed as organ block (separate blocks) ROKITANSKY’S TECHNIQUE In-situ dissection of organs Fetal brain dissection Infectious disease like HIV, Hep B Radiation hazards

Which types of gloves should be used in HIV etc ……? Chainmail gloves Kevlar gloves

PSYCHOLOGICAL AUTOPSY Investigative procedure of reconstructing a persons state of mind prior to death based on information gathered from personal documents, police , medical records, deceased families and friends.

VIRTOPSY Minimally invasive procedure utilizing imaging techniques like CT scan , MRI etc.

Negative autopsy vs Obscure autopsy No discernible cause of death: Even after extensive examination, the autopsy doesn't reveal any abnormalities or injuries that would explain the death.  All investigations are negative: This includes gross examination of organs, microscopic analysis of tissue samples, and toxicological tests looking for poisons or drugs.  Cause of death remains unknown: The pathologist is unable to pinpoint a reason for the death based on the evidence from the autopsy.  Thorough examination, but inconclusive results: The pathologist performs a complete and detailed autopsy, including all necessary investigations. Minimal or unclear findings: While some findings might be present, they are not definitive enough to explain the cause of death or are ambiguous. Uncertain cause of death: Despite the effort, the pathologist cannot confidently state the cause of death. 

In essence, a negative autopsy is characterized by the absence of any positive findings , while an obscure autopsy involves inconclusive findings that prevent a clear determination of the cause of death, despite a thorough investigation.

3. In a case of poisoning , for the opening of stomach which method of autopsy is described ? Inflow outflow method Double ligation method Single ligation method Rokitansky’s technique

Ans : B

Important individual Organ Dissection Stomach Dissection : Double ligation method for opening stomach incision is given along….? Spinal cord : Posterior approach is best. It is recommended in neck injuries cases. Brain : Scalp incision is started at “ Behind the ear lobe ” ( Inter Mastoid incision).

Heart Dissection : Inflow outflow method follow the direction of blood flow. First: Right atrium is opened, followed by Tricuspid valve and then Pulmonic valve (R→T→P) Next, Left atrium is opened, followed by Mitral valve and then Aotric valve (L→M→A).

5. Removal of skull in infants : By ………? (skull & dura are cut parallel to the midline from the lateral edge of anterior fontanelle.)

BENEKE’S TECHNIQUE BARR’S TECHNIQUE

4. Which of the following is a wrong statement related to post mortem changes? Loss of voluntary movement/ insensibility – Earliest sign after death. Tache Noir Sclerotica – Earliest eye sign after death Greenish discoloration in right iliac fossa – Earliest sign of decomposition externally. Reddish brown discolouration of aortic intima –Earliest sign of decomposition internally.

Ans : B

5. Which of the following is correct regarding the postmortem change shown in photo? A. Cattle trucking sign B. Due to fragmentation of retinal vessels C. Appears within seconds/minutes and persists till one hour. D. Time since death is 4 hours.

15. Body becomes cold after the death due to loss of temperature. But in some cases, there is heat production in the body. It is called as. A. Postmortem Rigidity B. Postmortem core temperature C. Postmortem Caloricity D. Cadaveric Spasm

Ans : C

Postmortem caloricity   is a phenomenon where the body temperature of a corpse rises or remains unusually high for up to 2 hours after death

Postmortem heat production is caused by biochemical and microbial activity in the dead body. The cause of postmortem caloricity varies depending on the cause of death: Postmortem  glycogenolysis   – a phenomenon beginning soon after death observed in nearly all cadavers. In an average adult, postmortem glycogenolysis can produce up to 140 calories of heat which can raise the temperature of the body by up to 2 °C. Bactaeremia ,  sepsis , and infectious causes – heat production may be attributed to postmortem microbial activity. Sunstroke, and pontine haemorrhages – disruption of thermoregulation prior to death. Tetanus, and strychnine – heat is produced by muscular contractions. The corpse may also absorb heat from the environment when environmental temperature exceeds that of the body.

Ans : C

Nysten’s Rule is seen in RigorMortis RIGOR MORTIS Synonyms: Cadaveric rigidity Postmortem Rigor Postmortem Rigidity Postmortem Stiffening 1 st Muscle to go into Rigor mortis is Myocardium 1 st Voluntary muscle to go into Rigor mortis is Eyelids Primary Relaxation Rigor Mortis Secondary Relaxation

NYSTEN’S RULE: Myocardium – Eyelids – Neck & lower Jaw – Face – Chest muscles – Upper Limb – Abdomen – Lower Limb – Lastly fingers and toes Rigor mortis disappears in the same order of appearance in, which it develops. Rule of dozen Rigor mortis begins in 12 hours, persists for 12 hours and disappears in 12 hours ( RULE OF 12 )

SHAPOROE’S RULE R igor mortis does not fallow the anatomical sequence. Most likely to develop simultaneously in all the muscles. But easily detected in small muscles

Demonstration of supravital period in the dead Zsako’s phenomenon [ Syn , Tendon reaction] – Name given to contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle on mechanical stimulation just after somatic death. Quadriceps femoris ( Qf ) muscle is struck with a reflex hammer about 10 cms above the patella. The patella moves upwards because of contraction.

(2) Idiomuscular contraction (bulge) – First described by Dotzauer and Prokop . The biceps brachii muscle is struck with the back of a knife. Muscular bulge appears at the point of contact due to local contracture of the muscle.

(3) Electrical excitability of muscles – Needle electrodes are inserted into the nasal part of the upper eyelid. The Orbicularis oculi muscle is stimulated using constant current rectangular impulses of 10 mA at 50 cycles per second.

The muscular reaction is graded according to the intensity and spread of contraction. Different intensities can be related to different periods of death (4) Supravital pharmacological excitability of the iris

17. Find out the wrong statement related to the given condition: A. Primary relaxation is absent B. Last act of the person is preserved C. Involuntary muscles get involved just after death D. Exclusively antemortem in nature.

Ans : C

Ans : C

DROWNING Type of asphyxial death caused by displacement of air from the lungs by any fluid, usually water. TYPICAL DROWNING ATYPICAL DROWNING Obstruction of air passages and lungs by water / liquid. - Therefore it is also called as WET DROWNING and findings of fluid and froth are present in PM examination. After submersion of body in water, little or no water enters respiratory passages and lungs. Hence typical findings of wet drowning in the form of froth ad edema aquosum of lungs are not found. Fresh water drowning Salt water drowning Dry drowning Immersion syndrome Submersion of unconscious Near drowning ( secondary drowning syndrome/post immersion syndrome).

DRY DROWNING: Water does not enter the lungs. Death results from …..? Laryngeal spasm Q due to sudden inrush of water into nasopharynx & larynx.

IMMERSION SYNDROME/ HYDROCUTION/ SUBMERSION INHIBITION/VAGAL INHIBITION: Death results from ? sudden cardiac arrest due to vagal inhibition of heart. Occurs in drowning in cold water, which stimulates the vagal nerve endings Q at surface of the body or water striking the epigastrium or cold water entering the ear passage. SUBMERSION OF UNCONSCIOUS: If person is unconscious since before submersion in water, little or no water enters respiratory passages. It may occur in hypertension, cerebrovascular accident, epilepsy, cerebral aneurysm and in drunk state.
