Abstract

In this case study, the objective was to discuss the medicolegal aspects of a 16 years old high school cadet's death while playing soccer in the field. Our case has collapsed unconsciously after the ball has struck him hard just on the chest. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. His autopsy has revealed mealy white colour changes on the left ventricle and hyperemia in the septum at the myocardial slides. The cardiac histopathology examination revealed scarring formed by the mature connective tissue in the muscle and coagulation necrosis. His cause of death reported as myocardial infarction. Along with, taking precautionary measures against preventable cardiac deaths at early ages and the significance of full medical exam, in these cases also medical staff involvement and boundaries in the investigations that need to be fulfilled by authorised forensic experts, should be discussed in regards of medicolegal investigation.
