“…The numbers of men were obviously higher than women, and this result is similar to data in turkey (15), France 2000 -2003 (16), Iran Isfahan Province 2013 -2015 (17), South Africa 2007 -2008 (18), and Western Norway (19), but it is in contrast with data in India 2008 (20). Our findings showed that most victims were between 25 to 29 years old during a five-year study and this result is in contrast with data in Turkey (15), Western Norway (19), India 2008 (20), Senegal (21) and France 2000France -2003, but it is compatible with study performed in Iran Isfahan Province 2013 -2015 (17). We discovered that the most commonly used method for homicide in Iran was the use of weapons which is similar to studies performed in turkey (15), France 2000France -2003, South Africa 2007 -2008 (18) and France 1994France -2008, but it is in contrast with results in Iran Isfahan Province 2013 -2015 (17),Western Norway (19), India 2008 (20) and Senegal (21); also our findings showed that stab wounds and blunt traumas were commonly used methods after firearms, respectively and it is similar to data in France 1994France -2008.…”

Background: There are five different kinds of death; natural death due to any disease, accidental death, suicidal death, homicidal death, and undetermined death. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the major causes of death based on the autopsied reports to aid the development of preventive strategies. Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study consisting of autopsy reports of all suicidal, homicidal and occupational deaths recorded in all forensic medicine dissection halls in thirty-two provinces of Iran from March 2011 to March 2015. A questionnaire was designed containing all the information required for our studies such as gender, age, cause of death, and the autopsy reports. Results: There were 19288 suicides, 11655 homicides, and 8558 occupational deaths during five years. Among suicidal deaths, there were seventy percent male and thirty percent female. Most victims (about 22%) were between 18 to 24 years old (Mean age ± SD: 33.1 ± 13.1 years). The highest cases of suicide were 52% hanging, and 25% poisoning, respectively. Among homicidal victims, there were 18% males and 20% females. Most victims were between 25 to 29 years old (24%) (Mean age ± SD: 32.4 ± 15.6 years). The most common methods were 46% firearms, and 29% stab wounds, respectively. Among occupational deaths happened in 99% of males and 1% of females. The most common victims' age-group was 30-39 years old (25%) (Mean age ± SD: 35.8 ± 10.3 years). Seventy-four percent of cases were caused by blunt trauma as a result of falling from a height. The second common cause of death was Electrocution (21% of the cases). Conclusions: The analysis of the causes of suicidal, homicidal, occupational deaths, can aid the development of preventive strategies to decrease the occurrence of these kinds of preventable deaths in Iran.

“…Worldwide, violence is one of the leading causes of death in the age group between 15 and 44 years old 1 2. The mean age was 37 years old as in Norway, Denmark, Malaysia, Newfoundland in Canada,4 18 20 21 while in countries with demographically younger populations, as Senegal, the average age of victims was lower (25 years) 5. These results were expected as men, especially in this age group, are more exposed to violence 22…”

“…Sharp force and blunt objects remained the most used methods in countries imposing strict laws over firearms ownership such as Tunisia, Saudi Arabia30, the UK,25 Denmark and Norway,4 Australia,7 Senegal,5 Malaysia18 and India 6. In countries where the laws permit the use of firearms for personal defence as the USA,31 South Africa17 and Colombia,8 this method was predominant.…”
