This study investigates the medicolegal aspects of burn-related deaths through autopsy cases across various age groups and burn types, including flame, electric, chemical, and scald burns, analyzed from July 2022 to December 2023. Out of 46 cases, males (78%) were notably more affected than females (22%), with the 0-10 age group having the highest incidence, especially in urban areas. Flame burns were the leading cause (52%), followed by electric burns (35%), with shock as the primary cause of death, particularly within the first two days. Accidental burns accounted for the majority of cases (80%), though suicidal and homicidal burns were also observed. The findings reflect regional differences in burn patterns and highlight critical risk factors, underscoring the importance of targeted safety protocols and preventive measures. Comparisons with prior studies reveal similar trends in burn severity and cause but suggest regional variations influenced by socio-cultural and occupational factors.
