After presenting the most important intravitam reactions in 114 burnt corpses of the Göttingen autopsy material covering the years 1969-83 two cases are described with a) a so called burn haemorrhage in the stomach b) an extremely wide spreading of the upper thighs. Differential diagnosis and forensic significance of these findings according to chemical, histopathological and experimental examinations are discussed.
