A comparative study on the death of unclaimed homeless males and females based on autopsy and circumstantial findings in a large North Indian population

Conclusions This is the largest autopsy-based study of unclaimed homeless corpse from India which tries to identify the circumstances of death and to establish a comparative pattern based on factors associated with the deaths of the males and females. The age groups of 40–59 (43.6 % within gender) in males and 10–29 age groups (40.3 % within gender) in females were the most affected victims. Age, gender, weather conditions and socio-economic status played an important role.
