N2  - In cases of death by physical violence, a major problem of whether the injuries were inflicted before death or after it arises to be determined during autopsy. It is important to time the wound for the reconstruction of events, and this should be determined by using all means of recent researches, particularly about wound healing and repair. The case examined was a suicide by hanging, associated with skull, rib and vertebrae fractures without any macroscopic or microscopic evidence of haemorrhage. Further investigation revealed a postmortem trauma during transportation of the deceased, and these fractures were attributed to the postmortem trauma, with reference to the investigation together with naked eye and histological examinations. However these data may not be available in all of the cases, and haemorrhage alone is not a reliable indicator of the antemortem origin of the wound. The distinction between antemortem and postmortem injuries, and recent researches about growth factors and their role in wound healing and repair are studied, and discussed in consequence of this case.<p /> <p>Language: tr</p>
