Histopathological changes in various organs in electrocution deaths.

The article focuses on the histopathological changes observed in electrocution deaths, highlighting the challenges in identifying morphological alterations during autopsy. It presents two case reports—a 34-year-old male and a 2-year-old child—detailing tissue changes in organs such as the heart, brain, lungs, skin, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen. Key findings include myofibre disruption in the heart, epidermal nuclear elongation and separation in the skin, and red neurons in the brain indicative of acute hypoxic injury. The study emphasizes that electrocution injuries can mimic burns but often lack typical coagulative necrosis, and that many electrocution deaths show minimal or no obvious pathological signs, complicating forensic diagnosis.
