Burn deaths of medicolegal importance are of two main types: those in which the circumstances suggest that the fire was used to commit or conceal a homicide or suicide, and those that involve the public interest or safety, such as an aircraft accident fire. The great majority of fire deaths are accidental, but it would be foolish for anyone, particularly an aircraft accident investigator, to assume anything about a death associated with an aircraft fire. This paper will discuss the medical investigation of fatalities from aircraft-accident burns.
一种是火灾发生的情况表明有人利用火灾实施或掩盖杀人或自杀行为；另一种涉及公共利益或安全，比如飞机事故火灾。绝大多数火灾死亡是意外事故，但任何人，尤其是飞机事故调查人员，若对与飞机火灾相关的死亡情况妄加猜测，那将是愚蠢的。本文将探讨飞机事故烧伤致死的医学调查。
