Abstract

Forensic autopsy is required in obscure deaths. In a documented experience, pulmonary edema featured among other pathologies. Therefore, this paper documents the examples of such edema found among an Ethnic Group domiciled largely in South Eastern Nigeria. It was commoner in males and preponderated in the 21–30 age group.
