Popis: The diagnosis of heat stroke is difficult to establish in forensic medicine due to the absence of observations made on the victims whilst alive. A recent case, concerning the death of two children in a vehicle, was restudied by taking into account calculations of thermophysiology. The results obtained allowed some assumptions of the investigation to be checked, and adds to the data provided previously in literature on the subject.
