Abstract

Among 31 cases of death by stab or cut from the years 1989 to 1991 a common injury pattern cases was brought out and related to surviving-time and the capacity to act. The results revealed a short surviving-time if a great blood loss can occur in a short time. There was no correlation between the volume of blood loss and the capacity to act or the lungs weight. From these cases, three cases are reported. First, a single throatcut with cut of the trachea and a surviving-time of 30 minutes. Second, one case of a single heart stab in which the victim could run about 100 meters, and third, one case of an isolated cut of the A. pericardiaca and an estimated surviving-time of 4-12 hours.
