Sažetak
This report presents the analysis of autopsy records from the Department of Pathology and Forensic medicine, Osijek General Hospital, in the period from May 2, 1991, when 12 Croatian policemen were killed in an ambush in Borovo Selo, until November 30, 1991. In that period, 496 autopsies were performed, constituting 42% of all the deaths recorded in Eastern Slavonia for that period. 96% of all autopsies were cases of violent deaths. Approximately 48% of all deaths were civilian ones. Explosive wounds were the most frequent cause of death, followed by gunshot wounds. In civilian population, 62% died from explosive wounds, indicating that the agressor`s main strategy is the destruction of civilian targets from the air or by heavy artillery fire froma safe distance.
