Abstract
Seven cases of electrocution death by low voltage (<80 V) were studied . Autopsy was carried out and the death scene was investigated. The co nditions for low-voltage electrocution death, the state of the victim at the time of electrocution, postmortem examination and the nature of the electricity is discussed. It was pointed out that low-voltage ele ctrocution was related to the nature of electricity, individual charac teristics and environment conditions.
