Overview

Excerpt from A Handbook of the Practice of Forensic Medicine, Vol. 2: Based Upon Personal Experience Deatfi from ex/ianstion occurs when, from the persistent loss of corporeal fluids of any kind, and the simultaneous embarrassment of the reproduction of the blood, the wants of the body come to exceed its supplies, until at length this disparity increases to a degree incom patible with the continuance of life. To this category also belong those too common cases, in which death occurs from hectic fever, resulting from an injury received weeks or months previously, and followed by sup puration of a healthy or unhealthy character. This kind of death is established by the discovery of an extreme degree of emaciation of the corpse, a total absence of fat externally or internally, a general anaemic state of the body, precisely like that which results from fatal hemor rhage; and by the discovery of the previous suppuration, decubitus, or the like, according to the circumstances of the case. To this category of death from general exhaustion also belong those cases, that so frequently occur in low life, and therefore in judicial practice, of immoderate panisnment or ill-usage of every kind, as well of adults as of children. Death in such cases occurs sometimes sud, denly from actual neuroparalysis, sometimes, and that most usually.
