“…Luckily, in the two cases presented, we could clearly state the sequence of death, this solving the possible inheritance issues. We would like to state that as in other cases [30][31][32][33][34] of forensic expertise, in the commorientes cases there arise some ethical issues such as the absence of caregivers and therefore the dilemma of who should bury the deceased.…”

Death by intoxication represents an important cause of violent deaths which could be easily prevented. Accidental ethanol and carbon monoxide intoxications produce the most frequent causes of violent deaths among civilians in Romania. To provide an insight in these types of deaths and to bring attention upon the clinical and biological manifestations as well as of the typical morphologically findings, the authors present a strange case of fatal intoxication due to carbon monoxide in an 88 years old male, found in his bed. Moreover, because of the simultaneous death of the male�s wife in the attic of the house, with ethanol intoxication, we would also like to bring attention to the juridical notion of commorientes, since in the establishing of its constituting characteristics the forensic expertise plays a decisive role.

Gastrointestinal conditions are a less common cause of sudden unexpected death when compared to other conditions such as cardiovascular conditions, but they are equally important. Various congenital and acquired gastrointestinal conditions that have resulted in sudden unexpected death are discussed. The possible lethal mechanisms behind each condition, along with any associated risk factors or secondary diseases, have been described. Through this article, we aim to highlight the need for physicians to prevent death in such conditions by ensuring that subclinical cases are diagnosed correctly before it is too late and by providing timely and efficacious treatment to the patient concerned. In addition, this review would certainly benefit the forensic pathologist while dealing with cases of sudden unexpected death due to gastrointestinal causes. This article is a review of the major gastrointestinal causes of sudden unexpected death. In addition, related fatal cases encountered occasionally in forensic autopsy practice are also included. There are several unusual and rare causes of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding that may lead to sudden unexpected death to cover all the entities in detail. Nevertheless, this article is a general guide to the topic of gastrointestinal causes of sudden unexpected death.

The paper presents an analysis of the management of hazardous chemical waste from medicolegal. activities. The analysis is based on eight years survey of the hazardous chemical waste management, ponting out the current procedures. The time series analysis is used to predict the evolution of such medical waste, and according to the forecast some strategic objective for reducing the amount of chemical waste are proposed.
