Abstract

Malaria is an endemic disease in the costal belt of Karnataka. Sudden death due to malaria is rare, but reported. Here we present a case of sudden death in a 50 year old male who was found dead in a room. Crime scene investigation, autopsy report, histopathological examination and chemical analysis confirmed the cause of death as disseminated malaria.
