Abstract
Death due to decapitation is rare in Forensic practice. Though decapitation is usually associated with homicides, in civilians it is more commonly seen in railway suicide. Decapitation in road traffic accidents is very rare, seen in high-speed impacts, and almost always involve unusual circumstances. Here we discuss a case of complete decapitation in a motorcycle accident where the non-helmeted deceased lost control of his motorcycle and hit the divider on the road resulting in decapitation. Correlating the findings at the scene of accident and autopsy was crucial to determine events of the accident and mechanism of the decapitation.
