This month, we present the following article:

Mittendorf AF et al. Fatal and nonfatal sharp force injuries to the limbs: a study of forensic autopsies in Sweden (2010-2019) International Journal of Legal Medicine 2025. doi:10.1007/s00414-025-03554-7

This study analysed over 800 forensic autopsy cases involving sharp force trauma to the arms and legs. The research sheds light on how injury patterns and severity—particularly in the forearms and wrists—can help distinguish suicides from homicides, and how factors like intoxication and age play a role in understanding these deaths.
