Examination of a Death by Head Wound in 1768
A 1768 death from a head blow is examined with medical opinions and case points. Witness testimony describes a sober young man, a fatal head wound, and subsequent fever before death on day six. Hippocratic views and other authorities are cited to evaluate whether the blow caused the death versus alternative medical conclusions.
