Sudden natural deaths due to sub arachnoid haemorrhage - A case series

Natural deaths form a large substrate of the autopsies conducted by a Forensic Pathologist and the situation where they deal exclusively with trauma and crime is professionally unhealthy. Involvement with natural deaths which are sudden, unexpected, clinically unexplained or otherwise obscure is quintessential for the cross fertilization of knowledge and ideas. A clear understanding of the morbid anatomy, disease process, and interactions with clinicians is an indispensable benefit not only as an experience but would also be crucial in solving the difficult problems arising in cases which are litigious where trauma is concurrent with a natural disease. Sudden Natural deaths due to Sub Arachnoid Haemorrhage are being discussed from the point of commonest causation of such a haemorrhage i.e. Berry aneurysm, other causes, morbid anatomy in each of these 9 case report series and also the medico legal problems that arose.
