Amongst unnatural deaths, the sudden death is the most common challenges faced by the forensic experts and pathologists in their day to day practice. It becomes a tough assignment to uncover instances of cardiac diseases that cause sudden natural death in the absence of coronary artery disease. A 62 years old male was declared as brought dead to the hospital within an hour of sudden onset uneasiness and chest discomfort. An autopsy was performed as per the guidelines laid down by AECP (Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology -2007) and findings were found to be consistent with Dilated Cardiomyopathy with Cardiac Cirrhosis. We emphasize on adoption of uniform methods of investigation in cases of sudden cardiac deaths for improvements in standards of practice and valid comparisons between different regions and communities.
