The objective of the present work was to estimate the results of microscopic investigations of organs and tissues for the purpose of forensic histological, forensic medical, micrologic, etc. expertise of the death by drowning in fresh water. A total of 3527 corpses of men and women aged from 3 to 77 years drowned in the Republic of Udmurtia in 1995-2011 were available for examination. The author demonstrates the possibility of using forensic medical investigations for the development of classification, elucidation of conditions and type of drowning. A reliable analysis of micrological data implies the necessity of their combination which is impossible in the framework of a single medical discipline; it is rather the interdisciplinary problem. The results of this study may contribute to the accumulation of the materials needed to create the working database.
