Diabetes mellitus has a high prevalence in affluent societies and is a common disease encountered at autopsy. Sudden death due to ketoacidosis is frequently encountered at autopsy, principally due to diabetic and alcoholic ketoacidosis. Often diabetic ketoacidosis occurs in people not known to have a history of diabetes. This webinar discusses approaches to the identification of deaths from diabetic and alcoholic ketoacidosis at autopsy, including macroscopic and microscopic features and use of ancillary testing including blood and vitreous biochemistry
