The present prospective study was conducted amongst children aged between 1-18 years, at M S Ramaiah Medical College Bangalore, from Oct 2007 to May 2009 to know the percentage of suicidal deaths in children, age and sex distribution, various patterns, and other factors associated with suicidal deaths. Suicidal deaths in children constitute 2.7 % of the total autopsies conducted and 10.4% of total suicidal deaths. Maximum number of suicidal deaths occurred in the age group of 15-18 years in both sexes constituting 54 % of total cases. Females outnumbered the males. Majority of the children were school going. 8.33% of the children were employed. Hanging was the most common method (82.05%). The academic failure (41.02%) was the main reason for committing suicide. Previous suicidal attempt was seen in 7.69% of the cases. Majority of the children committed suicide at home(95%).Keywords

This study was done to compare the estimated age from physiological changes in teeth (Gustafson method) with the actual age of deceased person and to note the difference between them and also to know the influence of various exogenous and endogenous factors on them. In 40 cases where the proof of age is available, first maxillary premolars were studied for 6 factors- attrition, periodontal disease, secondary dentine deposition, cementum apposition, ischolar_main resorption. Each factor was allotted a score of 0- 3 depending upon degree of changes in the tooth. Age calculated by deriving the regression formula for the total score. Mean calculated age when all the physiological factors taken together had a deviation of about ±2.86 years. Physiological factors had no significant correlation with the sex and diet of the individual. When a single factor is used for age estimation ischolar_main translucency gave the least deviation, i.e. ±5.17 years.Keywords

Study of distribution of deaths in various occupational settings was conducted at M.S. Ramaiah Medical College Hospital, Bangalore during October 2006 to January 2008. Total numbers of 52 cases were studied. Detailed information regarding the deceased and circumstances of death was collected from the police and relatives by a questionnaire. Complete autopsy of the body was carried out in each case. Majority of the deaths occurred among construction workers Pre existing medical conditions were the precipitating factors in few cases. In few cases presence of alcohol was confirmed by Forensic Science Laboratory. Vast majority of deaths occurred at work site. The maximum numbers of deaths at work place were from lower socio-economic status followed by middle socio-economic status. The major deaths occurred among private employees. The highest incidence of deaths at work place is more among permanent workers.Keywords

Killing of an individual is the highest level of aggression found in all cultures. Incidence of Homicide is on the rise worldwide mainly due to effects of population explosion, changing life style, aggressive nature and insatiable desire of human being to conquer the world. This prospective study from Oct 2005 to Sep 2007 was done in the Dept of Forensic Medicine, MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore, revealed that homicidal deaths accounted for 4.32% of autopsies, victims in the age group 20-39 years constituted 61.6% and males 71.75% of cases.80.75% were Hindus, 56.25% were married. Majority of them belonged to middle (49.25%) and lower (38.5%) socioeconomic status, 22.75% of them hailed from outside the city, about quarter of victims (26.25%) had consumed alcohol at the time of crime and homicide by means of injuries was the commonest method involved (75.5%).Keywords
