They are available either in company-labeled bottles or locally made unlabeled bottles especially in the developing countries. In this report, we are discussing a case of fatal ingestion of household cleaner, which was stored in an unlabeled bottle. The deceased developed features of gastrointestinal irritation, such as vomiting and pain in throat and abdomen. He also had features of aspiration such as cough and chest crepitation. Finally, he developed metabolic acidosis, gastric perforation, respiratory failure, and died within a day. The autopsy features such as teeth discoloration, corrosion of mouth and lips, and histopathological findings helped us in concluding that the ingredients contained some corrosive mineral acid. This case highlights the importance of histopathological examination of viscera in alleged cases of household cleaner poisoning where toxicological analysis of viscera gives negative results.Heart weight is routinely measured at postmortem examination and is critical to determine whether the heart is enlarged (ie, cardiomegaly). Cardiomegaly has the potential to cause sudden death by being electrically unstable, resulting in fatal arrhythmias. The majority of fatal cardiac arrhythmias is ventricular in origin and is assumed that ventricular size is disproportionately larger in cardiomegaly. This prospective study compared ventricular weight (VW) and total heart weight (THW) in 40 consecutive cases. The results, unexpectedly, showed that VW increases proportionally and linearly with THW in normal and enlarged hearts (THW, >500 g) and did not increase disproportionally with increased THW. The ratio of VW/THW did not have any significant correlation or difference with sex, height, weight, and cardiac causes of death but did have a negative correlation with age. Further studies are indicated to document the morphological chang
