The relationship between the trauma and the disease poses a biggest problem in interpretation, when a person who was either previously diseased dies after a trauma or who developed disease after sustaining injury. The importance of an autopsy in establishing the actual cause of death is most important in natural deaths, but it is even more important in the event of unnatural deaths. Here, we present a case report where the investigating agency booked the case under IPC S.304A and later the cause of death in the case is found to be a natural and the section was altered to IPC S.174.
