“…특히, 법의부검에서의 변시체의 사례들은 사회예방의 학적인 측면에서 변사현황과 사망 원인의 통계 및 과학적 증 거를 제공하여 사회적 위험으로부터 보호하는 역할을 한다. 지금까지 보고된 전국적인 법의부검에 대한 통계를 통해 지 역 사회 인구구조의 변화와 지역별 특성을 비교하는 것에는 한계가 있다 [4][5][6][7]9,10]. 따라서 저자들은 본 연구를 통하여 2020년에 대전과학수사연구소 중부지역을 대상으로 시행된 법의부검 945건의 사망의 종류와 원인을 분석하여 지역의 특 성을 통계적으로 고찰해 보고자 하였다.…”

We analyzed the manner and cause of death in 945 forensic autopsies from the Jungbu province (Central part of South Korea) conducted by the National Forensic Service Daejeon institute in 2020. Analysis of the manner of death revealed that 43.6% (412/945 cases) were natural deaths, 41.6% (393/945 cases) were unnatural deaths, and 14.8% (140/945 cases) deaths were unknown. Among the unnatural deaths, the major manner of death (40.7%, 160/393 cases) were by accidents, 29.5% (116/393 cases) were by suicide, 21.6% (85/393 cases) were undetermined, and 8.1% (32/393 cases) were by homicide. Among the unnatural deaths, the major cause of death (42.7%, 168/393 cases) were by trauma, 19.3% (76/393 cases) were by poisoning, and 16.5% (65/393 cases) were by asphyxia. Falling was the major cause of death by trauma (42.9%, 72/168 cases) and strangulation was the major cause of death by asphyxia (72.3%, 47/65 cases). Among natural deaths, heart disease was the major cause (43.7%, 180/412 cases), followed by vascular disease (18.9%, 78/412 cases). This study is the first statistical analysis of the manner and cause of deaths in the Jungbu province. A time-series statistical analysis of the manner and cause of deaths in this province might allow more advanced interpretations about both public safety and healthcare in the future.

A medicolegal autopsy is usually performed to determine the cause and manner of death based on judicial or administrative directives applicable in cases of unusual deaths. Social interest in medicolegal autopsies is increasing in recent times. In this study, we investigated medicolegal autopsy rates in Korea and compared these with rates reported by other countries. We obtained data regarding autopsies performed between 2016 and 2020 from the relevant institutions. We calculated the autopsy rate using mortality data from Statistics Korea. The number of medicolegal autopsies performed increased from 8,382 in 2016 to 9,308 in 2020, with an annual increase in numbers. The medicolegal autopsy rate of total deaths increased from 2.98% in 2016 to 3.05% in 2020, and the medicolegal autopsy rates of unusual deaths increased from 12.45% to 13.12% during the same period. However, it repeated an increase and a decrease by year during the study period. In conclusion, the numbers of medicolegal autopsies performed in Korea have been increasing since 2016; however, the medicolegal autopsy rate has been maintained.

This study aimed to obtain basic regional data of legal autopsy cases observed in the Jeollabuk-do province concerning causes and manner of death. We investigated 170 autopsy cases (114 males [67.0%] and 56 females [33%]) performed at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Chonbuk National University Medical School, in 2016. Of these, seven (4.1%) were children aged <10 years. Regarding the manner of death, there were 95 unnatural deaths (55.9%), 69 natural deaths (40.6%), and six deaths from unknown causes (3.5%). Among the 95 unnatural deaths, 29 suicides (30.5%), 10 homicides (10.5%), 52 accidental deaths (54.7%), and four undetermined deaths (4.2%) were recorded. Concerning causes of unnatural death, there were 39 traumatic injury-related deaths (41.2%), 10 asphyxiations (10.5%), 25 poisonings (26.3%), 13 thermal injury-related deaths (13.7%), and eight deaths due to drowning (8.4%). The most common cause of unnatural death was injury from falls (n=15), followed by agrochemical poisoning (n=12), traffic injury (n=12), and death from fire (n=11). Of 69 natural deaths, 31 were from cardiac diseases (44.9%), eight from cerebral or vascular diseases (11.6%), 12 from digestive system diseases (17.4%), one from respiratory system disease (1.4%), five from endocrine/metabolic/nutritional disorders (7.2%), and nine due to causes of unknown origin (including sudden manhood and sudden infant death syndromes) (13.1%).
