An ectopic pregnancy is where the fertilised ovum gets implanted & develops in a site other than normal uterine cavity. It can occur in any sexually active woman of reproductive age. Here, we present a case of a sudden & suspicious death of a young married female aged about 20 years who was brought to the casualty of our hospital and declared brought dead. The case was investigated under magisterial inquest as there were allegations of dowry death.
