Drowning of a Friedreich's ataxia patient
Am J Forensic Med Pathol.
1987 Mar.
Abstract
We here report an unusual, apparently accidental death, in which weakness associated with a progressive neuromuscular disease, Friedreich's ataxia, apparently resulted in the drowning of the deceased. The possibility of neuromuscular disease as a rare cause of drownings should not be overlooked.
