title: [Studies on medico-legal diagnosis in cold district. 3. Autopsy findings of the victims of cold exposure (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors have investigated the autopsy findings of 8 bodies died from cold. The conclusions are as follows: Pink colour of the blood in the left ventricle or the pulmonary veins, pink colour of the lungs and pink patches of the skin are fairly pathognomic findings of death from cold. Seven out of eight bodies have presented at least one of these findings. Subserous or submucous hemorrhage is less pathognomic and has been presented less frequently.
