Host:
A review of 400 consecutive medico-legal autopsies in the Ife-Ijesha zone of Western Nigeria is reported to highlight the medico-legal problems in Nigeria. The majority of these cases (71 per cent) were accidental deaths. There were only 44 sudden natural deaths out of which 18 were children under 15 years old. In only 16 cases (4 per cent) were the circumstances consistent with suicide; and there were 15 homicidal deaths. There were 9 cases in which it was not possible to determine the cause of death, and 2 deaths from criminal abortions. The results were compared to those from other parts of Africa.
