title: [Unusual circumstances in the discovery of a cadaver. Autopsy and results of findings].
abstract: The uncommon case of a 19 year old man is reported, whose corpse has been found lying in the middle of a road nearby an overpass. The investigators suspected a capital crime because of some strange findings--such as crossed legs, a stub of a cigarette between the fingers of the right hand and suspect head-injuries. The further forensic and criminalistic investigations proved, that the young man tumbled down the bridge head over heals and died of brain-injuries.
