“…Furthermore, the sober victim is common to many homicidal deaths [6,7]. Very few studies on non-accidental fire deaths exist in the English language, and there is a great need for articles on this aspect in particular, although some studies have been performed in Europe [8][9][10]. Now certain points should be studied in future work on homicide and on fire deaths.…”

A study of homocide perpetrated by fire was performed on the case files of the Office of the Medical Examiner of Metropolitan Dade County in Miami, Florida, during the years from 1977 until 1984. A total of 26 cases were collected and analyzed as to age, race, sex, and the cause of death of the victim along with the blood alcohol content, the drugs detected at autopsy, and the blood carboxyhemoglobin level. Additionally noted were the geographic location of the terminal incident, the scene circumstances, how the fire started, who started the fire, and the reason for the fire. The most common victim was a 31-50-year-old white man who died from smoke inhalation while sober. Commonly, drugs detected were negative, and the carboxyhemoglobin levels were elevated. The fire occurred at "home" while the victim was sleeping. Usually, a flammable liquid was poured and ignited by a drifter who was a brief acquaintance and earlier involved in an argument with the victim.

The 202 deaths connected with burns in 1976-1986 included 134 in which death occurred during the fire. In 49 cases the face was so badly charred that it was not possible to judge whether hemorrhage had occurred in the eyelids and/or conjuctivae. Such blood extravasation was seen in 14 of the remaining 85 cases, taking the form of petechiae in some cases and in others the form associated with more extensive extravasation, in some cases hemolytic. No other features known to cause such hemorrhages were present, so that they are attributed to the burning process itself. Signs of extensive pronounced burns were found in 13 of these cases, and it seemed that high-degree burns on the neck and trunk with less severe burns on the head were particularly likely to be associated with such hemorrhages. In most cases the flames had quickly come into direct contact with the body (clothing, bed or chair had caught fire), leading to rapid death, as documented by the fact that usually very little or no soot at all had been aspirated and by the low level of carbon monoxide intoxication (max. COHb 22%). One plausible explanation for the development of hemorrhage is the supposition first expressed over 20 years ago that when the circulation is maintained rapid burn-induced shrinkage of the skin of the neck has the effect of strangulating the victim; hemorrhage of eyelids and/or conjunctivae in such cases be could regarded as a vital reaction to the effect of fire. This is particularly significant, insofar as evidence of hemorrhage of this kind was found predominantly in bodies in which other vital signs indicative of the effects of burning were sparse and slight or even totally absent. In addition, specific examination of the laryngeal area revealed congestion-induced extravasation at various points, as well as petechial hemorrhage in the mucous membrane.

In several cases of fatal blunt-trauma injuries or after exposure to severe burning, large-drop fatty substances, discernible to the naked eye, were found in the venous blood of the right ventricle. Thin-layer chromatographic separation of the extracted lipids demonstrated an increase in the triglyceride fraction. Analysis of the fatty acids by means of combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed a shift towards oleic acid. The distribution pattern of the molecular weights was determined by means of DCI-mass spectrometry in order to characterize the triglycerides in detail. The total chemical findings indicated that the visible lipids present in the right ventricle had predominantly derived from the adipose tissues. In cases of post mortem burning (without vital traumata) no typical pulmonary fat embolism had developed despite massive lipemia in the venous blood.
