Flood Related Deaths
Beginning with the catastrophic Johnstown Flood of 1889, this lecture provides a comprehensive review of flood-related fatality investigation. Topics include drowning pathology in flood contexts, scene investigation protocols for water-recovered bodies, interpretation of travel injury patterns, and the unique challenges of certifying cause and manner of death when environmental conditions have changed between the fatal event and body recovery. Practical guidance on information gathering and collaboration with emergency management agencies is provided.
