Abstract
These results suggested that ImBT is a characteristic finding in cases of asphyxia and is an important evaluation for the diagnosis of death. When the relationship between ImBT and petechial hemorrhage was examined in three of the causes of death, no significant difference was observed between fire fatality and asphyxiation, but drowning was significantly different (pâ¯<â¯0.05). In cases without ImBT, the secretion of noradrenaline and adrenaline was significantly higher (pâ¯<â¯0.01). This finding suggests that it is unlikely that excessive secretion of catecholamine causes ImBT.
