Diagnostic Forensic Tools in the Investigation of Electrocution Fatalities: A Case Study. [PDF]
Anal Sci AdvABSTRACT Electrocution is a leading cause of occupational fatalities, frequently occurring at voltages typical of household electrical systems (220–250 V). This study presents a comprehensive forensic investigation of a 35‐year‐old labourer's electrocution death in Dubai. The methodology employed included forensic medico‐legal examination, histological
