GOWTHAM M
II MBBS
141
 A death in custody is a death of a
person in the custody of the police,
prison service or other authorities.
CUSTODIAL DEATH
 deaths resulting from police or
prison officers attempting to detain
a criminal or a person escaping or
attempting to escape from police
custody or prison.
 TRAUMATIC ASPHYXIA
 ARM LOCK OR NECK HOLDS
 BLUNT INJURY
 ALCOHOL
 SUICIDE
 NATURAL CAUSE OF DEATH
 When several policemen fall upon
a resisting offender to overpower
him
Traumatic asphyxia:
 Arm-locks or neck holds:
 Applied by policeofficers to resisting persons
are other causesof deaths during arrest.
 The arm lock is applied either from behind or
with the head of the offender tucked under the
police officer’s arm against the waist.
CUSTODIAL DEATH
 compression of the front and sides of the
neck and death can occur .
 either from reflex cardiac arrest or
cerebral ischemia during carotid
compression or asphyxia from airway
obstruction, though the latter is unlikely
to be the sole mechanism.
Blunt injury
 may occur from the use of fist, arm or leg and
by use of a weapon such as a truncheon, riot
stick or pistol butt.
 Any type of blunt injury may be received. Head
injuries may occur during a scuffle from falls
either against the ground, or against a wall or
other obstruction.
CUSTODIAL DEATH
Custodial  death
is a frequent cause of death in custody and also it
is major factor in provoking aggression and violent
resistance.
 When blood alcohol levels rise to above
350mg/100mL there is an increasing risk of coma and
central respiratory depression.
 At lower blood alcohol levels there is still the
risk of aspiration of vomitus and choking on gastric
contents.
 At autopsy, this aspiration should be distinguished
from the common agonal phenomenon.
ALCOHOL
 in custody are quite common. Most
police forces deprive the prisoner of any objects
that could be used to hang himself in the cells
 such as belts, braces, cord or even bootlaces.
In addition, the police cell may be specifically
designed to avoid any convenient suspension
points, such as bars, hooks, internal door handles.
SUICIDES
 Deaths may occur from purely natural causes,
usually of cardiovascular origin and no objective
proof can be provided when the emotional and
physical upset of being arrested an confinement
may have affected the blood pressure and heart
rate sufficiently, by an adrenaline response, to
have precipitated an acute cardiaccrisis in the
presence of severe preexistingdisease
CUSTODIAL DEATH
 All deaths in custody should be examined with
care to ensure that the guardians are cleared of
any suspicion of ill-treatment.
 The torture and custodial deaths are confirmed
by circumstantial and corroborative evidence.
 The victim is usually in detention in or some
form of custody.
Investigations of Torture and Custodial
Deaths
 Such types of death are usually involved with
the non-cooperating attitude of the authorities that are
hostile to impartial injury.
 The cases are handed over to the responsible authorities
such as Red cross, Amnesty International, Physicians for
human rights.
 .There is usually delay in the process before a victim is
being brought for examination, the injuries may have
healed and body may have decomposed. Body is
sometimes disposed off early.
Investigations of Torture and Custodial
Deaths
 The causes of deaths in torture or custodial
deaths may be sepsis, haemorrhage, internal
organ injury and even sheer exhaustion.
