Fatal hemorrhage from minor trauma following massive salicylate ingestion.
    The American journal of forensic medicine and pathology, 1984, Volume: 5, Issue:2

    The anticoagulant property of aspirin has long been appreciated. Recently, the physiologic mechanism has been identified and documented extensively. Despite the long-lasting inhibition of platelet function and clinically significant postoperative hemorrhage following aspirin use, few serious complications or fatalities are reported in the current literature. We report a case in which fatal hemorrhage resulted from minor trauma following massive salicylate ingestion. A review of the cyclo-oxygenase mechanism is presented.
