Abstract
Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the profile of Autopsy cases at Rajshahi Medical College.
Materials and Methods: This observational study was carried out at Rajshahi Medical College. From January 2021 to June 2021. A total of 248 autopsy cases were included as a sample size during the study.

In case of road traffic accidents (RTA) 70% cases were by 2-wheelervehicles followed by 25% were by 4-wheeler vehicles, 3% were by heavy vehicles and 2% were pedestrian cases. Death from suicidal hanging were mostly common in the age group 15-25 years, Homicide in47-67 years, poisoning in 47-67 years, Accidental fall from height in 15-25 years and Natural death in the age group of 67 years and above.
