abstract="In general, death of a person--also in cases of a so called &quot;sudden death&quot;--is followed by a certification of death, normally by the physician who attended the patient in his last illness, but doctors in external e.g. extraclinical emergency care systems as well are liable to fill in death certificates concerning these unknown patients whose sudden and in general unexpected cases of death mostly happened under dubious circumstances. Thus, doctors in extraclinical care are highly susceptible to miss cases of homicide, cases with relevant forensic and statistical aspects or claims of relatives concerning insurance premiums of the underwriter. By demonstrating three different case reports of &quot;sudden-death&quot;-incidents, the circumstances of death are illuminated and consequences are shown.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
