Abstract

We aimed to investigate physical examination, autopsy findings and identification studies of African victims drown after ship accident in Aegean Sea February 2004. We examined the reports of 25 cases autopsied in Bursa Morgue Department of the Turkish Council of Forensic Medicine, retrospectively. On the external examination of 9 female and 16 male cases, we found findings towards identification like tattoo, teeth crowning, finger anomalies in some cases and female circumcision in 3 females. The photographs of all cases were taken and samples were taken for DNA analysis. The cause of death of all cases were reported as due to drowning. Only 3 cases were identified. We discussed the findings of the cases and the procedures towards victim identification. It was exposed that the necessity of international collaboration for foreign citizen victim identification.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Şubat 2004'te Ege denizinde meydana gelen gemi kazasında suda boğularak ölen Afrika kökenli olgulardan elde edilen otopsi bulgularını, kimlik tespitine yönelik yapılanları irdelemeyi amaçlanmıştır. Adli Tıp Kurumu Bursa Grup Başkanlığı Morg ihtisas Dairesi'nde otopsileri yapılan 25 olgunun raporları retrospektif incelenmiştir. 9 kadın, 16 erkek olgunun dış muayenesinde 3 kadında sünnet, bazı olgularımızda parmak anomalileri, dişlerde metal kaplama, tatuaj gibi kimlik tespitine yönelik bulgular izlenmiştir. Tüm olgularda fotoğraflanma yapılıp, DNA analizi için örnekler alınmıştır. Tüm olgularda ölümün suda boğulmaya bağlı mekanik asfiksi sonucu meydana geldiği rapor edilmiştir. Sadece 3 olgumuzun kimlik tespiti gerçekleştirilebilmiştir. Olgularımızın kimliklendirilmesi için yapılan işlemler ve saptanan bulgular tartışılmıştır. Yabancı uyrukluların kimliklendirilmesi için uluslararası işbirliğinin gerektiği ortaya konmuştur.
