The determination of the time of haemorrhaging can be of substantial importance in the forensic practice. Histological, immunohistochemical and morphometric investigations were carried out on haemorrhages from animal experiments and from human pathological samples. Centrifugal topology, serum-erythrocyte discontinuity, topological arrangement of Fibrin formation and stabilisation of Factor XIII A were evaluated as criteria to define antemortal origin of haemorrhages.
