Abstract

Drowning or drowning is a condition of suffocation due to asphyxia due to the entry of liquid into the respiratory tract. The process of drowning begins with breathing problems either because a person's airway is below the surface of the liquid (submersion) or the water only covers part of his face (immersion). A man's body was found under a river bridge. From the results of the examination of the TKP, exhumation and autopsy, it was found that there were signs of drowning which resulted in death. The body, aged between 40-50 years, was found to have injuries due to blunt violence in the form of bruises on the face, right shoulder, back and lower limbs. There were signs of suffocation, decay processes and signs of prolonged contact with water. Found sand in the respiratory tract and digestive tract, as well as algae in the lungs. The cause of death was drowning which resulted in suffocation. Death in drowning can be caused by a vagal reflex, laryngeal spasm, and the effect of water entering the lungs. The victims also found blunt violence in the form of bruises on the face, right shoulder, back and lower limbs which were not a potential cause of death. The results of the case reports were quite interesting. It is known that there are signs of drowning, decay and blunt violence which require detailed examination to determine the cause of death in the corpse. Further research on deaths from drowning still needs to be done.

Drowning atau tenggelam merupakan kondisi mati lemas dikarenakan asfiksia akibat masuknya cairan ke dalam saluran pernapasan. Proses kejadian tenggelam diawali dengan gangguan pernapasan baik karena jalan nafas seseorang berada di bawah permukaan cairan (submersi) ataupun air hanya menutupi bagian wajahnya saja (imersi).Jenazah seorang laki-laki ditemukan di bawah jembatan sungai. Dari hasil pemeriksaan olah TKP, ekshumasi dan otopsi didapatkan hasil adanya tanda-tanda tenggelam yang mengakibatkan kematian. Jenazah berusia antara 40 - 50 tahun ini didapatkan luka akibat kekerasan tumpul berupa luka memar pada wajah, bahu kanan, punggung dan anggota gerak bawah. Didapatkan tanda mati lemas, proses pembusukan dan tanda persentuhan lama dengan air. Didapatkan pasir pada saluran nafas dan saluran cerna, serta ganggang pada paru. Sebab kematian adalah tenggelam yang mengakibatkan mati lemas. Kematian pada peristiwa tenggelam dapat disebabkan oleh reflek vagal, spasme laring, dan pengaruh air yang masuk ke dalam paru. Pada korban juga ditemukan kekerasan tumpul berupa luka memar pada wajah, bahu kanan, punggung dan anggota gerak bawah yang tidak berpotensi sebagai sebab kematian.Hasil laporan kasus yang didapatkan cukup menarik. Data yang diketahui terdapat tanda-tanda tenggelam, pembusukan serta kekerasan tumpul yang membutuhkan pemeriksaan secara mendetail untuk menentukan sebab kematian pada jenasah tersebut. Penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai kematian akibat tenggelam masih perlu dilakukan.
