title: [Thanatogenesis variants in drug use poisoning].
abstract: The study of 179 autopsy cases of narcotic poisoning has distinguished four main types of tanatogenesis, the "brain death" being most frequent. The second type was tanatogenesis by type of "sudden cardiac death" with ventricular fibrillation. The third one is tanatogenesis by type of "toxic edema of the lungs" with severe respiratory failure. Rare types of tanatogenesis were acute adrenal failure, anaphylactic shock and others. Combination of several tanatogenesis types was frequent.
