Upon the appearance of police the man collapsed and cardiopulmonary arrest was diagnosed. ALS was immediately started with regular medications and he was taken to a hospital. Cerebral coma was noted during the transportation. Upon arrival at the hospital CT examination of the skull was performed which revealed severe brain oedema without any focal lesion. In the clinical history nothing significant was noted apart from slight frontal headache two weeks prior hospital admission. According to the clinical symptoms (rapid onset, high body temperature) the possibility of neuroinfection was also considered but negative liquor findings ruled out this option. Clinical toxicology was negative, he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of his initial symptoms. The patient died nine days later. Forensic postmortem examination was performed and the results are being discussed in this presentation.  Keywords: police intervention, intoxication, infection
