，述死人生前常吃酒多少致醉；及取会首等状∶今来吃酒多少数目，以验致死因根据。
凡人吃酒食至饱，被筑踏内损，亦可致死。其状甚难明。其尸外别无他故，唯口、鼻、

凡死人项后、背上、两肋、后腰、腿内、两臂上、两腿后、两曲 、两脚肚子上下
有微赤色。
验是本人身死后一向仰卧停泊，血脉坠下，致有此微赤色，即不是别致他故身死
凡人死后被虫鼠伤，即皮破无血，破处周回有虫鼠啮痕踪迹，有皮肉不齐去处，若狗咬

凡是因被蛇虫咬伤导致死亡的，其受伤部位会有轻微的咬痕和黑斑，四周呈现青紫色肿胀，有青黄色的液体流出，这是毒气灌注所致，四肢和身体会出现光亮的水肿，面色发黑。如果检验出这些症状，就必须确定是毒气灌注到了身体的哪个部位而导致死亡。
凡是检验因饮酒进食过饱导致死亡的，先召集保甲长等人，当众责令仵作（古代从事验尸工作的人员）用醋汤清洗并检查尸体。如果身上没有明显的伤痕或破损，用手拍打死者膨胀且发出声响的腹部，这种情况就是由于饮酒进食过饱、过度腹胀导致心肺功能衰竭而死。同时需要取得死者直系亲属的供状，陈述死者在生前常喝多少酒才会醉；以及取得保甲长等人的证词：说明此次饮酒的具体数量，以此作为验证致死原因的根据。
凡是人饮酒进食至饱腹状态，遭受捶打踩踏造成内脏损伤，也可能导致死亡。这种情形很难查明。尸体外表没有其他明显的外伤，只有口、鼻、肛门有食物残渣和粪便带血流出。遇到这种情况，必须仔细调查究问，是否曾与人发生争执，因而遭到捶打踩踏。如果有目击证人证明情况分明，才可以确定死亡原因。

凡是死人项后、背上、两肋、后腰、腿内侧、两臂上、双腿后侧、两膝弯、两小腿肚上下出现微红色。
检验确认是本人死后一直仰卧停放，血液下沉，导致出现这种微红色，就不是因为其他特殊原因死亡。
凡人死后被虫鼠咬伤，皮肤破裂但没有出血，破裂处周围有虫鼠啃咬的痕迹，皮肉参差不齐，如果是狗咬，则痕迹粗大。
检验坟墓的方向，坟冢的长宽尺寸。被贼人挖掘，坟土杂乱无章，锹锄挖开深达寸数见到棺板，或者打开棺材看到尸体。责令报案人详细列出：死者原本穿着的衣服和物品，有哪些不见了是被贼人偷去的。
In cases of death caused by snake or insect bites, the injured area will show slight bite marks and black spots, with surrounding cyanotic swelling. Yellowish-green fluid may exude, indicating the infusion of toxic vapors. The limbs and body will exhibit shiny edema, and the face will appear dark. Upon observing these signs, it is necessary to determine which part of the body was affected by the toxic infusion leading to death.
When examining deaths caused by excessive consumption of alcohol and food, one must first assemble the community heads (Baojia Zhang) and, in public order the coroner (Wuzuo) to wash and inspect the corpse using vinegar broth. If there are no visible marks or injuries on the body, but the abdomen is distended and resonant upon percussion, this indicates death due to cardiac and pulmonary failure resulting from excessive abdominal distension after overeating and drinking. It is also required to obtain statements from the deceased's direct relatives regarding the amount of alcohol the deceased typically consumed to become intoxicated, as well as testimonies from the community heads detailing the quantity of alcohol consumed on that occasion, to verify the cause of death.
Death can also result from internal organ injury caused by beating or trampling when a person is fully satiated after eating and drinking. This condition is difficult to ascertain. Externally, the corpse shows no other obvious trauma, except for blood-tinged food residues and feces flowing from the mouth, nose, and anus. In such cases, a thorough investigation is required to determine if a dispute occurred leading to the assault. Only when clear witness testimony confirms the circumstances can the cause of death be determined.
Regarding men who die from exhaustion due to excessive sexual activity, losing their essence and collapsing on women, the authenticity of such claims must not be overlooked. In genuine cases, the Yang Qi remains un-depleted; in fabricated cases...
If a person was beaten to death and carried to the roadside, where local elders merely reported them as an abandoned corpse found on the road, careful verification is essential. If any traces are present, they must be reported to the authorities for further investigation...
If the back of the neck, back, lateral ribs, lower back, inner thighs, upper arms, posterior legs, popliteal fossae, and calves of a deceased person exhibit a faint reddish hue, it should be verified whether the body was lying supine for a period after death. Blood settling due to gravity causes this discoloration, indicating natural post-mortem changes rather than death from other specific causes.
If a corpse is damaged by insects or rodents after death, the skin breaks without bleeding, and the surrounding areas show bite marks with irregular edges. If bitten by a dog, the wounds are significantly larger.
Inspect the orientation of the grave and its dimensions. If thieves have dug into it, the soil will be scattered. Determine how deep the excavation went (e.g., reaching the coffin board with spades or hoes), or if the coffin was opened revealing the corpse. Require the reporting party to list the original clothing and belongings of the deceased, identifying any items missing due to theft.
