Attempted homicide by electrocution
International Journal of Legal Medicine, 1998Attempted homicide by the application of a high-voltage, low-amperage current is reported in an elderly male. An electrician constructed an apparatus and applied the current to wet towels placed on the abdomen of the victim sleeping next door. The attempt was unsuccessful and resulted in burns only. The victim was hospitalised and died 3 weeks later. A

Electrocution by Street Lighting
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1984Abstract Four lethal and one nonlethal electrocutions from street lighting equipment are described. These cases have in common old installations, metal light poles, wet environment, 480-V power sources, and intact fuses. Identification of causative factors may permit future accommodation in design to reduce risk.

Unusual Self-Electrocution Simulating Judicial Electrocution by an Adolescent
American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2008Electrocution is one of the rarest modes of suicide. In this case, one school going adolescent committed suicide by electrocution using bare electric wire. This is a rare case of suicidal death by applying live wires around the wrists, simulating the act of judicial electrocution. He positioned himself on armed chair and placed the nude wire loops from

Controlling the electrocution hazard in the hospital
Critical Care Medicine, 1972The hospitalized patient is in jeopardy from the electrical devices that surround or are attached to him. He is at a special risk because he is frequently grounded by monitoring devices and his protective skin barrier breached. Poorly designed electrical devices and inadequate or improper grounding of the hospital electrical system or of the equipment ...

Histological indicators of cutaneous lesions caused by electrocution, flame burn and impact abrasion
Medicine, Science and the Law, 2018Cutaneous electrocution marks are the key indicator that aid forensic pathologists in establishing electrocution as the cause of death, especially when crime scene and internal autopsy findings do not provide significant information.
