In a group of 387 drowned subject and 50 controls typical signs of drowning were investigated. Paltaufs spots, aqueous emphysema of the lungs, liquid in the stomach, significant drop of chlorides, creatinine and urea in the left heart and presence of liquid in the paranasal sinuses. The author investigated the frequency of these signs and by comparison of data of these signs in the two groups the diagnostic importance of different diagnostic signs was calculated.
