Evaluation of autopsy cases involving foreign nationals at the Erzurum Forensic Medicine Group, Presidency of the Forensic Medicine Institute between 2016 and 2021

The majority of autopsied deaths of foreign nationals were determined to be due to traumatic causes and occurred outside their country of origin, highlighting the fatal consequences of migration-related mobility. In cases involving the deaths of foreign nationals, the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations should be observed, death notifications should be properly processed, and biological samples should be preserved for identification purposes.
