title: [Casuistics of unusual death from loss of blood].
abstract: 7 cases of unusual natural and unnatural death due to loss of blood are reported. The case reports show the important role of acute and chronic alcohol abuse in this context. They also demonstrate the problems of necropsy caused by the unusual and suspicious situation, in which the corpses are often found; even in cases of natural death sometimes the first aspect arouses the suspicion of a crime.
