Identify and define the four general modes of death categories
What will be an ideal response?
Accidental death: Many types of death are associated with this category, including drowning, falling, automobile wrecks, and accidental drug overdose. Often, murders are disguised to appear to be accidental in nature.
Natural death: Deaths from natural causes include heart attack, stroke, disease, and old age. In many circumstances, the deceased will have been under a doctor's care, but often people are found suddenly deceased and their mode of death is questionable. For example, a person might have been forced to consume certain drugs that can cause death, but the symptoms indicate death from "natural" causes (e.g., heart attack).
Suicide: Methods of committing suicide are numerous and include hanging, stabbing, shooting, drug overdose, and carbon monoxide poisoning. As with other modes of death, investigators should be sure that the cause of death was actually suicide and not murder designed to look like suicide.
Murder: Murder is defined as one person intentionally causing another person to die. Many different situations can result in a person's intentional death. These include fatal wounds from handguns and shotguns, cutting and stabbing wounds, blunt-force injuries, and modes of death such as poisoning and death by asphyxia (strangulation).
