Abstract

Fire, one of the pure elements forming the world and one of the elements to provide life energy to all living beings, sometimes turns deadly. In Forensic Medicine departments, one of the most common cases for post mortem examinations is Burns case. But it becomes difficult many a times to comment on the manner of death in cases with a brief survival period. So, the current study was undertaken at Mortuary complex of Medical college, Vadodara, Gujarat during one year period from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012. There are some perplexing results like Number of Male victims outnumber the females; about 83% cases were from rural residence, which were different compared to earlier studies.
