Thus a forensic appraisal standard was advanced, including: ① There was history of reduction of exterocellular osmotic pressure ② Cerebral edema, lung edema and more excretion are shown in clinic. ③ Concentration of the blood sodium was lower than 120mmol/L. ④ The transfusion order or speed was not proper. ⑤ Cause of death from general disease, injury and poisoning can be ruled out by autopsy.
