Abstract

Time since death is made out from gross postmortem changes like cooling of the body,  postmortem staining, rigor mortis, decomposition etc. In the present study Histological changes in the  lung tissue were studied at various postmortem intervals in the human body died due to road traffic  accidents. This study is conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine in collaboration with  Department of Pathology, G.S.V.M. Medical College, Kanpur, U.P. A total of 45 cases are taken  belonging to both sexes i.e. 36 males and 9 females were studied. These are of different age groups.  All road traffic accidents are taken into account. In this study control cannot be taken because the  histological changes of tissue after death is influenced a great deal by atmospheric temperature and  humidity besides other external and internal factors. Therefore these must be taken into account in all  studies of postmortem interval whether histological, biochemical or physical.
