Abstract: The content was studied of catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine in the cerebrospinal fluid in hanging and sudden death due to cardiac diseases. It has been ascertained that the level of catecholamines in hanging exceeds their quantitative content in death due to ischemic heart disease. This criterion can be used for validation of asphyxia in hanging.
