title: [Can an intra vitam or postmortem restraint be diagnosed by the manifestation of livor mortis?].
abstract: Development, rearrangement and reaction to pressure on post-mortem lividity were investigated by using different shackle-instruments. The behaviour of post-mortem lividity at the shackle-point and its surrounding areas in some cases may allow to draw a conclusion, if shackle occurred during life or after death.
