ACT on the death of a prisoner

November 21, 1951, Tomsk

I, the head of the medical unit of prison No. 1 of the city of Tomsk, captain of medical service ROSTOVYKH G. V., and the attending physician, captain of medical service MIRUTS M. A., examined the body of prisoner of prison No. 1 of the Tomsk Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Venidikt Spiridonovich YACHMENEV, born in 1895, who died in the prison hospital on November 21, 1951 at 1:30 am.

Upon external examination, the following was found:

1. The corpse is male, of normal build, severely undernourished, visible mucous membranes and skin are pale. Above the left eyebrow there are two small abrasions, at the outer corner of the right eyebrow and on the right temple there are also small abrasions. On the right shoulder there are two large abrasions, on the chest and right thigh and knee there are also abrasions.

Rigor mortis is expressed in the extremities. On the underlying surfaces of the body, arms and buttocks there are cadaveric spots.

2. 10/XI – 51 YACHMENEV was delivered to the prison hospital from the internal prison of the UMGB in a serious condition for periodic abdominal puncture due to ascites. On the same day, the puncture was done, as a result of which 16.5 liters of transudate came out. The patient's condition improved somewhat, on November 12, according to the agreement, the patient was taken back. 13/XI – 51 YACHMENEV was admitted to the prison hospital for permanent detention. The patient's condition was serious, as indicated in the act drawn up upon admission.

The patient is bedridden, severely exhausted, with shortness of breath, ascites, swelling of the legs, congestion in the lungs, muffled heart sounds.

Abdominal puncture on 10/11/51 and symptomatic treatment somewhat improved the patient's condition, but not for long. On 20/11/51, abdominal puncture was performed again and 12 liters of hemorrhagic transudate were removed; the patient's condition is very serious.

On November 20, 1951, at 9 p.m. and at 11 p.m., the duty paramedic NOSKOVA visited the patient; the latter was in a half-asleep, calm state.

At 00:30 the hospital duty officer called NOSKOVA to the patient’s room, as he saw through the peephole that YACHMENEV had fallen near the bed.

Paramedic NOSKOVA, together with another patient prisoner, laid the patient on the bed; YACHMENEV was conscious and talked to her, but his condition was already grave – agony had begun.

At 1:30 am on November 21, aged 51, the patient died from increasing cardiac weakness.

Diagnosis: Atrophic liver cirrhosis. Heart failure grade III, left-sided exudative pleurisy.
