Autoptic findings and causes of death of the ten cases included in this study.

Case Number	Macroscopic Findings	Microscopic Findings	Cause of Death
1	Entrance gunshot wound in the right side of the trunk, exit gunshot wound in the left side of the trunk	Hemorrhagic infiltration of soft tissues near the gunshot wounds	Gunshot
2	Coronary artery disease (atheromatous plaque)	Myocardial ischemia	Cardiovascular disease
3	Left ventricular hypertrophy	Diffuse myocardial interstitial fibrosis, myocardial hypertrophy	Cardiovascular disease
4	Diffuse burn lesions in various degrees, soot in the airways	Soot deposition in the medium and small airways’ mucosa, intraepidermal and subepidermal separation alongside coagulation necrosis in the skin	Fire burn > 40% body surface
5	Entrance gunshot wound in the oral cavity, several skull fracture	Hemorrhagic infiltration of soft tissues near the gunshot wound	Gunshot
6	Both ventricles dilation	Long and thin myocytes, interstitial fibrosis	Cardiovascular disease
7	Skull base fractures, lower limbs fractures, intracranial hemorrhage, and cerebral lacerations	Subarachnoid hemorrhage, hemorrhagic infiltration of soft tissues	Traffic accident
8	Multiple costal fractures, upper limbs fractures, multiple excoriations, heart lacerations, lungs ecchymoses	Hemorrhagic infiltration of soft tissues	Traffic accident
9	Coronary artery disease (atheromatous plaque)	Myocardial ischemia	Cardiovascular disease
10	Coronary artery disease (atheromatous plaque)	Myocardial ischemia	Cardiovascular disease
