El objetivo de esta revisión es proporcionar una visión general actualizada de los hallazgos tanto macroscópicos como microscópicos que podemos encontrar en la autopsia y que pueden servir de ayuda para llegar al diagnóstico de hipotermia como causa de muerte.]]></p></abstract>

The objective of this review is to provide an updated list of both macroscopic and microscopic findings we can be found in the autopsy and that can be helpful for diagnosis of cause of death as hypothermia overview.]]></p></abstract>
