N2  - In this study, we describe two cases with autopsy findings of interstitial myocarditis. They show that supplementing the autopsy with histopathological examination, even when the cause of death is thought to be clear and obvious, is extremely important as it can contribute valuable information to the case, including the circumstances of death. In the first case, we discussed a tram accident in which its driver was killed. The family of the deceased reported that he had been suffering from consciousness disturbances for some time, and additional radiological examinations demonstrated abnormalities in his neck blood vessels. In the second case, a pregnant woman was admitted to hospital after a cardiac and respiratory arrest. A cesarean section was carried out but the fetus was already dead. The woman was declared dead shortly after the operation.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
