A naked man died under peculiar circumstances and the postmortem examination revealed unexpected lesions in the cervical spine. Investigations of the cervical spine (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and histological examination) showed that a piece of bone was torn of the anterior part of vertebra C6 and that there was fresh bleeding in the surrounding tissue. The cause of death remained unclear but was most likely cardiac arrhythmia initiated by beta-2 agonist inhalation due to an acute asthmatic attack. Data from biomechanical investigation using finite element analysis supported the conclusion that the cervical spine injury was secondary to impact during falling as a consequence of the cardiac arrhythmia.
一名裸男在特殊情况下死亡，尸检显示颈椎有意外损伤。颈椎检查（计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和组织学检查）表明，C6椎体前部有一块骨头被撕裂，周围组织有新鲜出血。死因尚不清楚，但很可能是急性哮喘发作时吸入β-2激动剂引发的心律失常。使用有限元分析进行的生物力学研究数据支持了以下结论：颈椎损伤是心律失常导致跌倒时受到撞击的继发性损伤。
