On the basis of the literature and of their own investigations, including animal experimentation, the authors attempt to show the possible causes of death following lightning strokes. Animal experiments give evidence of the important role of cardiac arrhythmias, in particular of asystolia and ventricular fibrillation. Cardiac arrest, respiratory standstill, burns, fractures, mechanical lesions of internal organs and hemorrhages are stated as causes of death. Moreover, autopsy fails to reveal recognizable changes in some of the victims.
基于文献以及他们自己的调查，包括动物实验，作者试图揭示雷击后可能的死亡原因。动物实验证明了心律失常，尤其是心搏停止和心室颤动的重要作用。心脏骤停、呼吸停止、烧伤、骨折、内脏机械性损伤和出血被列为死亡原因。此外，尸检未能在一些受害者身上发现可识别的变化。
