凡被人以衣服或湿纸搭口鼻死，则腹干胀。
若被人以外物压塞口鼻，出气不得后命绝死者，眼开，睛突，口鼻内流出清血水，满面
血赤黑色，粪门突出，及便溺污坏衣服。
凡被外物瘾（ ）[HT ]死者，肋后有瘾（ ）[HT ]着紫赤肿，方圆三寸、四寸以来，皮不破，用
手揣捏得（筋）[肋]骨伤损，此最为虚怯要害致命去处。
凡被马踏死者，尸色微黄，两手散，头发不慢，口鼻中多有血出，痕黑色。被踏要害处
便死，骨折，肠脏出。若只筑倒或踏不着要害处，即有皮破、瘾赤黑痕，不致死。驴足痕小
牛角触着，若皮不破，伤亦赤肿。触着处，多在心头、胸前，或在小腹、胁肋，亦不可拘。
凡被车轮拶死者，其肉色微黄，口眼开，两手微握，头髻紧。
凡车轮头拶着处，多在心头、胸前并两胁肋。要害处便死，不是要害不致死。
凡被雷震死者，其尸肉色焦黄，浑身软黑，两手拳散，口开眼HT ，耳后发际焦黄，
头髻披散，烧着处皮肉紧硬而挛缩。身上衣服被天火烧烂。(或不火烧)伤损痕迹多在脑上及
脑后。脑缝多开，鬓发如焰火烧着。从上至下，时有手掌大片浮皮，紫赤，肉不损。胸、项
、背、膊上或有似篆文痕。
凡被虎咬死者，尸肉色黄，口眼多开，两手拳握，发髻散乱，粪出，伤处多不齐整，有
舌舐齿咬痕迹。
虎咬人，多咬头项上，身上有爪痕HT 损痕，伤处成窟，或见骨，心头、胸前、臂腿上有
伤处，地上有虎迹。勒画匠画出虎迹，并勒村甲及伤人处邻人供责为证。(一云虎咬人，月
初咬头项，月中咬腹背，月尽咬两脚，猫儿咬鼠亦然)
凡是被人用衣服或湿纸捂住口鼻导致死亡的，尸体腹部会干燥且胀满。
如果是被人用外物堵塞口鼻，导致气息无法排出而死亡的人，眼睛睁开，眼球突出，口鼻内流出清血水，满脸呈现赤黑色，肛门突出，大小便失禁弄脏衣物。
凡是因外物压迫（瘾）[HT ]致死的，肋骨后方有被压迫留下的紫红色肿胀痕迹，方圆约三寸到四寸左右，皮肤没有破损，用手触摸按压可感觉到肋骨损伤，这是最为虚弱要害、容易致命的部位。
凡是被人马踩踏致死的，尸体颜色微黄，双手散开，头发不凌乱，口鼻中多有血液流出，痕迹呈黑色。若踩踏在要害处立即死亡，会出现骨折、肠脏外露的情况。如果只是被绊倒或踩踏未触及要害处，则仅有皮肤破损、紫黑色淤痕，不会致死。驴蹄留下的痕迹较小。牛角顶撞造成的伤害，如果皮肤未破损，伤口也会呈现红肿状态。被顶撞的部位，多在心头、胸前，或者在小腹、胁肋处，也不应拘泥于固定位置。
凡是被人用车轮挤压致死的，肌肉颜色微黄，口眼张开，双手微微握拳，头髻紧绷。车轮挤压到的部位，多在心窝、胸前以及两侧胁肋。若挤压在要害处立即死亡，非要害处则不会致死。
凡是遭雷击致死的，尸体肌肉颜色焦黄，全身发黑松软，双手由握拳变为散开，口开眼瞪，耳后发际线处焦黄，头髻披散，被烧灼处的皮肉紧缩僵硬并挛缩。身上的衣服被天火烧烂。（或者未被火烧）伤损痕迹多在头部及脑后。脑缝多裂开，鬓发像被火焰烧过一样。从上至下，有时可见手掌大小的片状浮皮，呈紫红色，但肌肉未受损。胸部、颈部、背部、肩膀上或有类似篆文般的痕迹。
凡是被人虎咬致死的，尸体肌肉颜色发黄，口眼多张开，双手握拳，发髻散乱，粪便流出，伤口多处不整齐，留有舌头舔舐和牙齿咬过的痕迹。
老虎咬人，多咬头部和颈部，身上有爪痕和损伤痕迹，伤口成窟窿状，甚至露出骨头，心窝、胸前、手臂腿部上有伤口，地上留有虎的足迹。需请画师画出虎迹，并责令村甲及伤人处的邻居供认作证。（另一种说法是：老虎咬人，月初咬头颈，月中咬腹背，月末咬双脚，猫咬老鼠也是如此）
In cases where death results from having the mouth and nose covered with clothing or wet paper, the abdomen will be dry and distended.
If a person dies because an external object blocks the mouth and nose, preventing exhalation, the eyes will be open with protruding eyeballs, clear bloody fluid will flow from the mouth and nose, the face will appear dark red-black, the anus will protrude, and feces and urine will soil the clothes.
In cases of death caused by external pressure (Yin) [HT ], there will be purple-red swelling marks on the back of the ribs, approximately three to four cun in diameter, with intact skin. Palpation may reveal rib fractures; this is a critical and vulnerable area likely to cause fatal injury.
In cases of death by horse trampling, the corpse's flesh color is slightly yellow, hands are spread open, hair is not disheveled, and blood often flows from the mouth and nose, leaving black marks. If vital areas are trampled, death is immediate, accompanied by bone fractures and evisceration. If merely knocked down or if non-vital areas are trampled, only skin abrasions and purple-black contusions occur, without fatality. The footprint left by a donkey is smaller. Horn injuries from cattle, if the skin remains intact, present as red and swollen wounds. Such injuries commonly occur at the heart region, chest, lower abdomen, or hypochondrium, though one should not rigidly adhere to these locations.
In cases of death by wheel crushing, the muscle color is slightly yellow, mouth and eyes are open, hands are slightly clenched, and the hair bun is tight. Crushed areas are typically located at the epigastrium, chest, and bilateral hypochondria. Immediate death occurs if vital areas are crushed; otherwise, death does not ensue.
In cases of death by lightning strike, the corpse's flesh is scorched yellow, the body is soft and black, hands transition from clenched to open, mouth is open, eyes are staring, the hairline behind the ears is scorched yellow, and the hair bun is disheveled. Skin and flesh at burned sites are tight, hard, and contracted. Clothing may be burnt by heavenly fire. (Or not burnt). Injury traces are mostly found on the head and occiput. Cranial sutures are often split, and sideburns appear singed. From top to bottom, palm-sized patches of floating skin may appear, purple-red, with underlying muscle intact. Resembling seal script patterns may appear on the chest, neck, back, and shoulders.
In cases of death by tiger bite, the corpse's flesh is yellowish, mouth and eyes are mostly open, hands are clenched, hair is disheveled, feces are expelled, and wounds are irregular, showing signs of tongue licking and tooth biting. Tigers usually bite the head and neck. Claw marks and damage are visible on the body, wounds form cavities, sometimes exposing bone. Injuries occur at the heart region, chest, arms, and legs, with tiger tracks found on the ground. A painter should sketch the tiger tracks, and village officials and neighbors near the incident should provide testimony as evidence. (Another theory states: tigers bite the head and neck at the beginning of the month, the abdomen and back in the middle of the month, and both feet at the end of the month; cats biting mice follow a similar pattern.)
