title: [The diagnostic significance of coagulated heart blood in cases of death by acute asphyxia (author's transl)].
abstract: In cases of death by asphyxia, such as strangulation, hanging, drowning, lack of oxygen, compression of the chest, and carbon monoxide poisoning, the frequency of the liquid and coagulated state of blood in the heart was examined. Coagulated blood in the right heart can be found in cases of strangulation, hanging, and drowning, if simultaneously an elevated blood alcohol was present. The diagnostic significance of this result is discussed.
