Tokyo Medical Examiner's Office has approximately 13,000 inquest cases and 3,000 autopsies per year. Usually the winter season has much number of inquest cases owing to the elder' s death. In summer of 2007 and 2010, however, a number of inquest and autopsy cases increased rapidly and conspicuously. The cause was the increase of heat stroke death caused by intense heat. We often appealed "the prevention of the heat stroke" for the ministries and agencies from the standpoint of medical examiners. In the present paper, the situation of heat stroke deaths in Tokyo metropolitan area and the findings and diagnosis of heat stroke death were introduced.
东京法医办公室每年大约有13000起死因调查案件和3000例尸检。通常冬季由于老年人死亡，死因调查案件数量较多。然而，在2007年和2010年夏天，死因调查和尸检案件数量迅速且显著增加。原因是酷热导致中暑死亡人数增加。我们经常从法医的角度向各部委呼吁“预防中暑”。本文介绍了东京都地区中暑死亡的情况以及中暑死亡的调查结果和诊断。
