Abstract

Drowning is a process of entry of liquid into the respiratory tract or lungs which causes respiratory problems until death. WHO notes that drowning is the third leading cause of death in the world due to accidental injury. Enforcement of the causes of death by drowning can be seen from external examination of the corpse, examination of the inside of the corpse, and additional examinations, both examination of diatoms or examination of blood on the heart. Reported a case of death due to drowning as evidenced by the discovery of fine white foam from the nose and mouth, signs of hypoxia, and a woman's hand washer from external examination, found fine white foam in the throat and lungs, fluid in both chest cavities, paltauf spots, increased lung mass -lungs from internal inspection, and found green and red algae on diatom examination. From other additional examinations, namely toxicology examinations, high levels of ethanol and methanol were found in the blood and urine so that it was highly probable that the drowning was caused by a disturbance in the central nervous system due to excessive alcohol levels.
