Abstract:
The objective of the present work was to estimate the incidence and characteristic features of the deaths by drowning in living apartments of Moscow as exemplified by the South-Western administrative district and nearby areas. Because the majority of the known and described morphological signs can not be considered as associated exclusively with drowning, new criteria for the assessment of this condition and the enhancement of reliability of the data obtained need to be developed. The author maintains that this goal could be achieved through a more close cooperation between forensic medical experts and law enforcement officers.
