Phenomena occurring under exposure to heat such as epidural burn hematoma, hyperemia of the internal organs and extravasation of blood into the serous mucosae have been known for a long time. There has so far been less attention to an alteration which was recently observed in two burn corpses. These were punctiform hemorrhages in the conjunctivae as well as hemorrhages in the throat musculature which initially suggested application of force to the neck. After it could be established by usual investigations that the cases were suicides, an attempt was made to clarify the origin of these hemorrhages and the question of their vitality in animal experiments. To the extent that unequivocal results could be obtained, these indicated that the blood extravasations are vital phenomena which are associated with the still-intact circulation. However, differentiation between the action of third parties and extravasation of blood due to heat it difficult and can only be possible with the consideration of the overall circumstances in the individual case.
长期以来，人们已经知道在受热情况下会出现一些现象，如硬膜外烧伤血肿、内脏充血以及血液渗入浆膜粘膜。迄今为止，对于最近在两具烧伤尸体中观察到的一种改变关注较少。这些改变是结膜点状出血以及咽喉部肌肉出血，最初提示颈部受到外力作用。在通过常规检查确定这些案例为自杀后，人们试图通过动物实验来阐明这些出血的起源及其是否具有生前出血的特征。就所能获得的明确结果而言，这些结果表明血液外渗是与仍未受损的循环相关的生前现象。然而，区分第三方的行为和因受热导致的血液外渗很困难，只有考虑到个别案例的整体情况才有可能做到。
