Investigation of foreign national forensic cases in Denizli province

Öz

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the data of foreign national cases who underwent forensic autopsy and
applied to Forensic Medicine Units in Denizli province in the light of political, geographical, and socioeconomic
aspects, to contribute to domestic and foreign studies in this field, and to determine the preventable causes of
deaths.
Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medicolegal reports of foreign nationals who applied
to the Directorate of Forensic Medicine Council and Pamukkale University Department of Forensic Medicine and
foreign nationals who were autopsied in the Pamukkale University.
Results: It was observed that the number of autopsies performed on foreign nationals constituted 2.38% of all
autopsies. The most common country of origin of foreign national death cases was Syria with 25.6%. Among
the foreign national death cases, 29.1% (25) were tourists. The most common cause of death among foreign
deaths was natural origin (43%).
In the case of foreign nationals, 316 reports were issued for 271 cases. The most common country of origin of
the applicants was Iran with 33.2%. Of the applicants, 48.3% applied for reports on intentional injury.
Conclusions: Strict pregnancy follow-up, improving living conditions, and providing counseling services to
families on child care, neglect, and education are among the measures that can be taken to reduce mortality in
the 0-10 age group.
Considering that children are the future of society, it is of great importance that children who are dragged into
crime are supported at the earliest possible time.
