Abstract

The article deals with some issues related to qualification under Part 1 and Part 4 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation when applying for diagnostics in the field of forensic medical examination in cases of death from closing the respiratory tract with blood due to bleeding into their lumen, at fractures of the nasal bones, as well as the issues of establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between the infliction of fracture of the nasal bones and the death from closing the respiratory tract with blood, in cases of determining the presence or absence of the necessary cause-and-effect relationship between the objective side of the crime and the resulting death from obstructive asphyxiation. These circumstances require the mandatory establishment of a cause-and-effect relationship between these events. It is noted that, with regard to the problem under consideration, the first stage of the cognitive act is implemented through the inspection of the scene of the incident, the victim's body, the collection of evidence, photo and video recording, as well as the testimony of witnesses and suspects.
