From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016,
a total of 1147 postmortem inspection cases in Area 8, Seoul Metropolitan
Police Agency (Gangseo, Yangcheon, and Guro police stations) were statistically
analyzed. Autopsies were performed in 205 cases (17.9%), and the autopsy rates
were 17.6% (75/426 cases) in the Gangseo police station, 9.5% (34/357 cases) in
the Yangcheon police station, and 24.3% (82/337 cases) in the Guro police
station. For 288 cases with an unknown cause of death, the autopsy rates were
70.0% (60/87 cases) in the Gangseo police station, 28.6% (26/91 cases) in the
Yangcheon police station, and 63.1% (65/103 cases) in the Guro police station.
For 65 cases due to fall from height, the autopsy rate was 7.7% (n=5). Of the
187 cases due to hanging, 155 cases were classified as suicide at the scene
with a 4.5% (n=7) autopsy rate and 32 cases were classified as an undetermined
manner of death at the scene with a 15.6% (n=5) autopsy rate. The distribution
of the “manner of death” was natural death, 45% (n=516); unnatural death, 29.9%
(n=343); and other and undetermined, 25.1% (n=288). Proportions of dispatch
times were 50.9% (584 cases) during work hours (09:00-8:00), 13.8% (n=158)
during evening hours (18:00-21:00), 13.4% (n=154) at night (21:00-00:00), 11%
(n=126) at dawn (00:00-06:00), and 10.9% (n=125) during morning hours
(06:00-09:00). The male-to-female ratio was 1.86:1 (746:401). These statistics
are valuable for the evaluation of postmortem inspections by experts.
