Abstract

Background: There are five different kinds of Death; natural Death due to any disease, accidental Death, suicidal Death, homicidal Death, and undetermined Death. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the major causes of Death based on the autopsied reports to aid the development of preventive strategies. Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study consisting of Autopsy reports of all suicidal, homicidal and Occupational Deaths recorded in all Forensic Medicine dissection halls in thirty-two provinces of Iran from March 2011 to March 2015. A questionnaire was designed containing all the information required for our studies such as gender, age, cause of Death, and the Autopsy reports. Results: There were 19288 Suicides, 11655 Homicides, and 8558 Occupational Deaths during five years. Among suicidal Deaths, there were seventy percent male and thirty percent female. Most victims (about 22%) were between 18 to 24 years old (Mean age SD: 33. 1 13. 1 years). The highest cases of Suicide were 52% hanging, and 25% poisoning, respectively. Among homicidal victims, there were 18% males and 20% females. Most victims were between 25 to 29 years old (24%) (Mean age SD: 32. 4 15. 6 years). The mostcommon methods were 46% firearms, and 29% stab wounds, respectively. Among Occupational Deaths happened in 99% of males and 1% of females. The most common victims’ age-group was 30-39 years old (25%) (Mean age SD: 35. 8 10. 3 years). Seventy-four percent of cases were caused by blunt trauma as a result of falling from a height. The second common cause of Death was Electrocution (21% of the cases). Conclusions: The analysis of the causes of suicidal, homicidal, Occupational Deaths, can aid the development of preventive strategies to decrease the occurrence of these kinds of preventable Deaths in Iran.
