This talk will cover all aspects of the autopsy examination of fire deaths including signs of smoke inhalation, fire damage to the tissues and common post mortem artefacts. Fires can be accidental, suicidal or homicidal in nature, so careful consideration of the background information in conjunction with the post mortem findings is required, and there will be reference as to when to contact the Coroner/Procurator Fiscal due to suspicious findings.
