Russia. This man was killed by his drinking buddy with a leg from a chair. When drunk people fight and one dies from injuries, forensic investigation focuses on intent, cause of death, and culpability. Alcohol impairs judgment and control, often escalating violence. Forensic experts analyze injuries (type, severity, location) to determine if they were accidental, defensive, or intentional. Autopsy findings, toxicology reports, and evidence from the scene (e.g., weapons, blood splatter) establish the cause of death. Statements from witnesses or participants are evaluated for inconsistencies, considering alcohol’s effects on memory. The legal distinction between manslaughter and murder hinges on proving intent or reckless disregard. Self-defense or provocation may also factor into legal conclusions.
