Abstract
The pattern of unnatural mortalities reflects the prevailing social set-up and mental health status of the region. To understand the magnitude and pattern of unnatural deaths in the Sarguja region of Chhattisgarh, a one-year retrospective study was carried out in the Department of Forensic Medicine, RSDKS Government Medical College, Ambikapur, Sarguja. The study revealed a male predominance-affected age group of 21–30 years, followed by 31–40 years, mostly in summer. We found that head injury and polytrauma are major causes of unnatural death; they contribute mainly to traffic accidents.
