Death due to scorpion sting is rarely encountered in regular forensic practice. Even though majority of the scorpion stings are non-fatal producing only local and systemic manifestations, occasional deaths do occur, especially in children. Deaths in adults are far less common.
This case report concerns one such fatal case of scorpion sting in an adult male.
