[The forensic medical assessment of tanatogenesis in the victims of a mechanical and thermal injury].

This paper presents the data on tanatogenesis and pathomorphological changes in the patients suffering mechanical and thermal injuries arranged according to their duration (from 1 day to 2 months). The study included 65 deceased men and 25 women at the age from 15 to 89 years. The results obtained allowed to identify the immediate causes of death from the traumas of different origin.
