Abstract
Chapter 21 encompasses numerous topics that are either too overlapping in their content to fit nicely into a previous chapter, or too narrowly focused or uncommon to deserve a chapter by themselves. This relatively lengthy chapter includes discussions on a wide array of topics, including aircraft crashes, allergic reactions, animal attacks, artifacts and mimics, emboli, exhumations, explosions and blast injuries, high-profile cases, homicide by heart attack, in-custody deaths, mass fatality incidents, cases with multiple causes of death, nutrition and hydration disorders, food poisoning, occupational deaths, organ and tissue procurement issues, postmortem chemistry tests, postmortem cultures, pregnancy-related maternal deaths, product-related deaths, radiation, sexual assault, terrorist agents, and therapy-related deaths.
They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand. Job 34:20
