[Accidental coincidence in cause of death?]

Upon the discovery of two deceased persons in close proximity within a short period of time, a death by other than natural causes is first assumed, and only after the elimination of such a cause of death through police investigations as well as an autopsy can a death by natural causes be assumed. The existence of two different natural causes of death in close proximity within a short period of time is extremely rare. In the subject of our autopsy we made two such observations within a short period of time which are presented as casuistry.
