Burns injuries have been a one of the major cause of concern since prehistoric time to the present era of modern medicine. Burn is considered to be the commonest cause of unnatural death in India.Burns are injuries produced by application of dry heat such as flame, radiant heat or some heated solid substance like metal or glass to the body. Dry heat, application of hot bodies, licking by flames resulting in simple burns causes local injury to the body. Moist heat leading to scalds, corrosive poisons resulting in corrosive burns. Electric spark, discharges, flashes and lightning leads to electric burns.Present study aim to know the magnitude of burn deaths in the region of southern marathwada region. Two years prospective study was conducted at Government Medical College Latur. Study of medico legal autopsies to establish the profile of burn deaths was carried out. In the present study, it is found that burns are commonly found in female (72.04%) than in females. Housewives (43.52%) were common victims followed by works (9.80%). Most of the incidences took place in morning hours (45.53%). Most common place of incidence was house (83%). Kerosene (57.63%) was the most common accelerant used to cause burn. If percentage of burn increases, the survival period decreases and vice versa. Most common alleged manner of death was accident (53, 6%).

Data related to intentional burns remain scarce. Homicidal burns represented between 0.6% and 4.2% of all homicides in Egypt, France, the United Kingdom, and India [1][2][3][4].Intentional burns remain a challenging situation, especially in the case of an individual found dead with no witness of the fatal act. Thus, in practice, identifying a certain victim's profile and a particular distribution of injuries could be helpful to the forensic specialist, as well as the judicial authority in concluding a homicidal burning. The pattern of homicidal burning casualties reported inOccidental and Middle East countries were different from the profile of self-inflicted burns. Homicidal burning was mostly reported in young males, with less important injuries compared to accidental and self-inflicted burnings and predominant in the anterior part of the body [5-7].

“…The winter season exhibited the highest percentage of fatalities due to burns (45.79%), and the primary location of such incidents was reported to be the victims' residences. Accidental burns were the most common (74.8%), followed by instances of self-inflicted burns (23.4%) [20]. In the Surat Region of Gujarat, a research study was conducted which revealed a considerable incidence of mortality due to burns among individuals aged 21 to 30 years, accounting for 35% of the cases, showing a distinct female predominance with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2.…”
