Unnatural And Accidental Movie Download

Deaths caused by drug abuse, in which the cause of death is intoxication, so-called overdose deaths, are regularly reported and studied. Other deaths related to drug abuse have been less frequently studied. We wished to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of unnatural deaths in persons in whom drugs were detected in blood samples taken at autopsy.

Unnatural deaths that occur during drug use but are not accidental poisonings are not included in the regular overdose statistics. These deaths account for a significant proportion, and are in all likelihood being underreported. They are somewhat different from the accidental poisonings in terms of their gender distribution and circumstances.

Manner of death in the medicolegal sense refers to the manner in which death occurred: natural, accident, suicide or homicide. Hence, this is not the same as cause of death. For example, the manner of death can be a traffic accident, while the cause of death is chest injuries. As far as we are aware, no major systematic investigation has previously been undertaken based on all types of unnatural deaths where narcotics were detected in post mortem blood. Only scarce documentation is available regarding how circumstances and different manners of death are distributed among the genders and age groups of the adult drug using population, and whether there are any regional differences.

The median age was 33 years, and 998 (75 %) of those included were between 20 and 39 years at the time of death. In 322 (24 %) of the 1 338 cases, the manner of death was another than accidental poisoning. Of these, 168 were suicides, 123 other accidents and 31 homicides (Table 1). Of those who died from other accidents, 66 were found in or near a motor vehicle (Table 2). We found no significant differences in age distribution between the various manners of death.

As regards the cause of death for suicides, there were significant differences between the regions. In Southern and Eastern Norway, intoxication was the cause of death in 48 % (n = 62) of the suicides, whereas intoxication was the cause of death for 18 % (n = 7) of the suicides in Western Norway (p-value for the discrepancy = 0.001). There were differences between Southern and Eastern Norway on the one hand and Western Norway on the other with regard to the proportion of women whose manner of death was accidental poisoning. From the Institute of Forensic Medicine, a total of 144 included women (23 %) had this manner of death, while at the Gade Institute and Stavanger University Hospital the combined number amounted to 34 (16 %).

Approximately 6 % of the medicolegal autopsies performed in the area and the time period for the study were performed in departments of clinical pathology in hospitals not included in the study (17). As an example, a total of 90 medicolegal autopsies were performed at Innlandet Hospital in Lillehammer during the studied period (17), a fact that may explain why we did not register any unnatural deaths positive for narcotic drugs from Gudbrandsdal police district.

This means that in the remaining cases (accidents, suicides, sudden unexpected deaths etc.) the head of the police district in question is free to decide whether or not to have such an examination performed. This may result in random (in)equalities in numbers and proportions that are not representative of the real prevalence. Moreover, the medicolegally autopsied deaths represented only 4 % of all deaths during this period (17, 23). Because of the varying practices for requesting a medicolegal autopsy, we assume that suicides, fatal accidents and accidental intoxications during drug use are under-registered.

As regards accidental intoxications, our results in terms of age and gender distribution are in accordance with other studies from the same period (15, 16). The question of why the proportion of women suffering accidental intoxications is lower in Western Norway than in the southern and eastern regions merits investigation in more detail. With regard to accidental intoxications, the autopsy rate was most likely quite high (18), and these regional differences in the proportion of women may thus be real. With regard to the other manners of death, such regional differences cannot be assessed with certainty on the basis of our study, due to the variation in practices for requesting autopsies as well as the relatively small number of cases for some of the manners of death in the material from Western Norway.

In nearly every fourth unnatural death in which the deceased underwent a medicolegal autopsy in which narcotic substances were detected in the blood, another cause of death than accidental poisoning was established.

The Swedish Causes of Death Register collects nationwide information from 1961 onward, including dates and the underlying and contributing causes of death [22], with high accuracy [23]. We used the 10th Swedish revision of ICD (International Classification of Diseases) codes X60-X84, V01-X59, and Y85-Y86 to ascertain deaths from suicide and accident (Supplementary Materials Table S2). Death due to accident was further classified as deaths due to transport accident, fall, accidental threat to breathing, unspecified fracture, or others.

Because an association was mainly noted between the use of low-dose aspirin and accidental death, we also performed several secondary analyses to assess the robustness of this finding. First, because patients are often asked to discontinue aspirin use during surgical treatment to avoid major bleeding [29], we performed additional analysis to separately assess the studied associations within first year (as a proxy for the time window of primary cancer treatment including surgery) and beyond first year after cancer diagnosis. Second, to further alleviate the concern of residual confounding, we separately compared the on-medication periods with off-medication periods of the same individuals (within-individual comparison). Third, because individuals with different characteristics have been shown to have different risk of accidental death following a cancer diagnosis [30, 31], we separately analyzed the association by sex, age, cancer type, cancer stage, history of psychiatric disorders, Chronic Disease Score, highest educational level, cohabitation status, and employment status (employed vs. retired or unemployed). Finally, in addition to any death due to accident, we separately studied the association by major causes of accidental death.

Using a nationwide cohort study, we assessed the association between use of low-dose aspirin and non-aspirin NSAIDs and the risk of unnatural deaths among cancer patients. We found that low-dose aspirin use was associated with a 22% lower risk of death due to accident but not suicide whereas use of non-aspirin NSAIDs was not associated with the risk of either death due to accident or suicide. When separately analyzing prevalent use and incident use, we found that prevalent use of either aspirin or non-aspirin NSAIDs was associated with a lower risk of death due to accident, whereas incident use of such medication was not. Our study provides evidence for a potentially beneficial effect of NSAID use, especially low-dose aspirin and long-term use, in reducing severe accidents after cancer diagnosis.

The lack of statistically significant association between low-dose aspirin and risk of death due to suicide may indicate indeed a lack of association. However, it is also possible that an underlying association is masked by methodological issues. This contention is in particular compelling given recent findings showing that aspirin use reduces the risk of depression [21], which is a major predictor of suicide [7]. Unlike unpredictable death due to accident, completed suicide is intentional. During the immediate time period before suicide, patients might stop taking or dispensing medications [43]. This could have led to different kinds of biases. For instance, if the patients had dispensed aspirin recently, they would be counted as exposed to aspirin despite not actually using it. Alternatively, before suicide, patients might be less likely to dispense prescribed medications, leading to an artificial protective effect, i.e., less patients would have dispensed aspirin during the time before suicide compared to expected. Another possible explanation for the lack of a statistically significant association is the lack of statistical power because of the smaller number of completed suicide. Moreover, suicide is known to be a challenge in classifying causes of death, and can be misclassified as deaths due to accident [44]. When combining completed suicide and deaths due to accident as one outcome, we found a 21% lower risk of unnatural deaths associated with the use of low-dose aspirin. A protective effect of low-dose aspirin on the risk of suicide following a cancer diagnosis can therefore not be ruled out.

Unnatural deaths may be caused by unintentional or intentional injuries. Unintentional injuries are mainly accidental, while intentional injuries may be suicidal or homicidal. Female deaths due to unnatural causes, especially in the first few years of their married life, have been observed in Indian society for the last few decades.

This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital during the period of 10 years from January 2004 to December 2013, to assess the pattern of unnatural female deaths in the state of Manipur. A thorough analysis of the history and postmortem findings was carried out, and the findings were statistically analyzed.

Out of the total of 4313 cases brought for autopsy, 320 cases (7.42%) were of unnatural female deaths. The year 2004 recorded the highest number of female deaths, and the number of cases declined in the following years. The maximum number of victims was observed in the age group of 21-40 years (36.3%); the majority of the victims were married (70.3%). Road traffic accident victims constituted 68.4% of the cases, while 13.1% were victims of firearm injuries and bomb blasts. Most of the cases were accidental deaths (72.5%), while 23.75% were homicidal in nature. 17dc91bb1f
