Background: The cause of death in cases of sudden and unexpected death is determined by the forensic pathologist based on autopsy findings and toxicological analysis. In cases where no acute pathology or lethal injury are detected, and the circumstances surrounding the death were highly stressful or emotional, it is possible to attribute the inciting event as contributory to the death by causing cardiac dysrhythmia.
Method: Ten cases of sudden death related to stressful events were examined over a period of 2 years in the National Center of Forensic Pathology, all of which lacked findings of acute disease or serious injury.
