چکیده
This report details the case of a 76-year old woman who was found dead at her home in a pool of blood after suffering leg injury by her pet cat. A claw was found on her trauma. Veterinary examination verified that the claw belonged to her cat. Macroscopic and microscopic findings confirmed that the victim was suffering from varicose veins in the lower limbs. Though the death scene suggested that a crime had taken place, a thorough investigation demonstrated that the cause of death was bleeding from the ruptured varicose veins.
