title: [Infantile and juvenile violent death].
abstract: Infantile and youth violent death has been analyzed with a new approach using an informative source different from traditional ones by means of a dynamic statement with a retrospective study of the process. We call attention to the great number of violent deaths that affect the newborn, the infant and the adolescent. We insist on the way that violent death occurs through its three mechanism: accidental, suicide or homicide. We set the difference among natural, sudden, doubtful and violent death. We observe the increasing number of infantile and youth necropsies made at the judicial morgue under the name: violent death, in the studied periods. We stress the preponderance of males in all the causes of infantile and youth violent death by means of programs related to the three ways in which violent death occurs: accident, homicide and suicide.
