Abstract

Histological examination of the heart in a murder victim revealed florid myocarditis as an incidental finding. Subsequent examination of the heart in 27 further cases of unnatural death in young men aged 15-25 years revealed three more cases of myocarditis. In none of these four cases was the myocarditis thought to have caused or contributed to death.
