Objective: Electric shock is defined as occurence of injury or fatality following contact with electric welding. Methods: In our study, the forensic files of 209 subjects for whom a causal link was found between electric current and mortality between 2010 and 2014 were examined retrospectively. Results: The subjects were evaluated in terms of demographic properties, the origin of the event, distributions by months, locations of the event, autopsy findings, presence of hospitalization, type of accident, if crime scene investigation was performed or not and if investigation was performed about suspicious devices in the scene of crime by a technical legal expert. Conclusion: Investigation of the cause of death is initiated in the crime scene in all forensic cases of mortality. In cases of mortality related with electric current, the cause and origin of death can be explained by way of a detailed crime scene investigation when macroscopic and microscopic findings are absent.
