Sudden deaths from positional asphyxia: A case report.

Rationale: Positional asphyxia is a rare cause of sudden death and a difficult diagnosis, based mostly on the circumstances of the incident, along with particular external and internal findings, frequent in asphyxia (signs of sudden death).

Patient Concerns: In this report, we are describing one case of adult who was found positioned in a way that led to eventual asphyxiation.

Diagnoses: The final diagnosis of positional asphyxia was determined after the autopsy.
