TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Death in a fold-away bed JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Wirth, Ingo A1 - Correns, Andreas A1 - Schmeling, Andreas SP - 170 EP - 179 VL - 220 IS - 5-6 N2 - The term "death in abnormal body position" refers to deaths caused by a position-induced impairment of the vital functions of respiration and circulation. In the described case from the autopsy material of the Berlin Institute of Legal Medicine (CCM), the 82-year-old woman died in a folded up fold-away bed in a fixed head-down position. Death was caused by the combined effect of neck compression, traumatic asphyxia and head-down position.
