    Abstract:
    We report a case of fatal hemoptysis resulting from the rupture of a Rasmussen's aneurysm. Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) clearly showed the air-fluid level within a tuberculous cavity and fluid-filled trachea. In this case, PMCT was useful as a screening tool to detect the cause of death as asphyxia from hemoptysis. It became a guideline for the following autopsy, as well as evidence to explain the importance of autopsy to the family.
