N2  - An analysis was undertaken of 3623 post-mortems conducted in the Civil Hospital, Delhi, during 1991, covering 75 per cent of civil police stations and all three railway police stations. The study showed that the death rate was highest in the age group of 30-39 years (29.6%), road traffic accidents being the most common cause (33.9%). In general four times more deaths occurred in males than in females. However, in deaths by burning it was three times higher in females. The attention of all concerned should be drawn to this huge, untimely and tragic loss of lives.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
